Leaf damage help?

10 years ago

Hey everyone - this is my second shot at balcony fig gardening! I got a new celeste, and have been trying to put it outside while it is warm enough (though reading through other posts, and as the lows are only mid-40s for the next few weeks, I should chuck it outside now). I've been noticing some leaf damage, though - some looks brown and sort of crumbly along the edges, some looks eaten... Is this from a bug? Or a fungus? Or something else? Do I need to do some sort of treatment, or is it really not a big deal?

Probably a bug, outside bugs take care of other bugs but not always.

If only a few leaves you can remove and watch the other leaves in meantime.

As a last resort if plant starts to get worse you can spray for bugs with many products in the market but after all these years growing fig plants i never had to

except once when one baby indoor plant for winter had mites which i saw with a jewlers loupe many years back forgot what i used to spray it.

Nowadays i do not bring them indoors but in garage as there are no more small

plants.
