Hi All. Our fiddle leaf fig is about 2 years old and has been doing great until very recently. The last 2 new leaves are spotted as shown into attached photo. Don't know why this is happening and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding cause and cure? Thanks so much for any and all advice,
Chuck[

It is usually caused by irregular watering.

Keep an eye though, if the spots start yellow then turn reddish it could be the start of a fungus. I'd pinch of those two leaves and discard them....then wait until new ones start to grow.

Final update, we cut it back a little and the new leaves are all fine! Also made sure it watered on a regular basis!
