Hello everybody,
Recently we faced a problem with emerging red leaf spots on fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) plants (as shown in the attached picture) under the greenhouse conditions (25 °C, 50% relative humidity, and 5000 lux). The plants are fed with Hoagland nutrition solution every five days.
Does anyone have experience in this regard?
What would be the possible reasons? And how can I overcome this issue?
Best regards
Dear Ruhollah,
it's been ages since we last planted Ficus spp., but could these simply be the result of coccids?
Best wishes & good luck,
Julius
Dear Julius Riese and Arvind Singh ,
Thank you for your helpful responses.
The most common cause of small red spots on new leaves of fiddle leaf fig plants is edema. Edema (also spelled oedema) is often a symptom of moisture stress, which is caused by incongruous watering. https://fiddleleaffigplant.com/little-red-or-brown-spots-plaguing-new-growth-on-your-fiddle-leaf-fig-tree-heres-why-and-what-to-do/
