Ich weiß, dass ich es in einen größeren Topf umtopfen muss, aber was verursacht die braunen Flecken? Für Tipps oder Ratschläge sind wir sehr dankbar 🙏🏻

Might be over or under watered
It definitely could be pot. If it’s too root bound it will not take in water and nutrients the same way, which will stress the plant
You probably answered your own question.
it looks like it’s sneaking around the corner to attack whoever walks past next
My question would be: when you water, does the water drain into the plastic saucer, and do you leave the water there for the plant to wick up from the bottom, or do you empty the water?
If the plant sits in water, the brown spots could be from that, and if you empty the water out of the liner, it could be that the plant isn’t actually getting enough water. Either way, it could be a result of being rootbound it too small a pot.
The plant looks super healthy though, so just repot it into a bigger container and maybe that will fix it.
I dunno but it’s gorgeous and mighty. Mine dropped dead after two weeks at home, so I’m just gonna be ‘mirin.
That thing is massive!
I had a hard fought struggle with a little fiddle leaf that I had a lot of trouble with. Spring is a good time to re-pot the plant since theres root growth in the spring time.
The fiddle leaf is really susceptible to root-rot so you’ll want to swap it into a terracotta pot. That will be more porous than the plastic so more moisture can escape more easily.
Then when you water you should be able to stick your finger a couple inches into the soil without feeling moisture. At that point you want to fully water the plant, really soak it. And best if you leave some water in the tray for ~30 mins or so remove it after that. For bigger plants like this a turkey baster is great to suck up that drainage.
Moisture management is the real key with the fiddle leaves, you just need to make sure enough moisture is escaping between waterings. But also don’t be too infrequent with the watering.
Hmmm. You should probably bring it over to my house so I can fix it…*whistles innocently*
It’s an indication of overwatering during the time the leaf was growing – broken capillaries, someone said on an earlier FLF post.
Yes, you should repot it – it’s doing amazingly well for such a small pot. Remember to keep the top cm of the rootball exposed for oxygen respiration.
Will you try to braid or twist the trunks together or leave as is?
I’m colorblind and not looking at these in person but the pattern appears to be edema or burst capillaries from overwatering.
Wow thank you all so much for all the feedback! I’m definitely going to repot it asap then. This community rocks, y’all are the best 😄
How long have you had it? My guess would be leaf shed from not enough light. Doesn’t look like it would be getting much from this picture
Might need some cal mag, check the run off pH. Oh wait, wrong sub!
I’ve seen it’s normal because they cause edema from water that eventually fades. Not sure if that’s the case though
Eta: could also be thrips?
The brown spots are caused by being over watered or likewise not having proper drainage in the pot. It’s from leaf cells bursting bc the roots weren’t able to deal with all of the water.
Needs a bigger pot is all, the roots might not have anywhere else to go or breathe 😊
Is this considered one plant or multiple? I’ve never seen a fiddle leaf with so many trunks.
I’m having trouble with my Lyratas turning brown on the under part of the leaf. It’s happening a lot and I can’t figure out why. I’ll post a picture and a new post soon.
I just wanna compliment you on that beautiful plant!
Look up brown spot disease.
Spoiler: It ain’t good.
Me thinks tis rootbound. When was it last potted?
