This plant was gorgeous 5 days ago.

I repotted about 30 days ago it rested at my home which does not have good light so I was worried. I moved it back to the hotel where I work to a space with wonderful light. It just went sideways so fast. Thoughts? I am thinking bacteria? It was watered but it is not soaked. Bad soil? When exposed to light something happened?

Thank you for any thoughts.

Frankly, I have never seen anything like that happen so dramatically fast, except when I accidentally used Weed and Feed on my vegetable garden years ago. I would get rid of it as soon as possible and not even use the soil again. No clue what happened to it though. Was it arctic cold when being moved?

its Iowa and it was cold yes. It was outside maybe two minutes going to the car and to the building . But the car was not warm inside I am sure, we thought it would be fine for the short time. Oh no.

I doubt it was the cold, looks to me like something is eating the leaf tissue from the inside.

No clue, could be wrong.

I'd cut the nasty leaves ASAP, leaving only healthy ones.

Has the funk occurred on the stem?

Powdery mildew?

Hard to tell from the photos. If so, I've had good luck removing obviously bad leaves and treating with diluted neem oil.

Cronchy oof
That sucks

i suspect it froze the tissue.

I'd go with cold. Not powdery mildew. Trim crispy parts if you want or do nothing and wait for new leaves. It will probably drop most of those leaves fairly soon. Don't panic if it does, just treat it the same as you have been. No fertilizing until it starts to grow new leaves. Cross fingers and hope.

Hi all so I went drastic and trimmed it all back, today this is what he is doing, what do you all think? Is the poor guy going to bud lower on the trunk or grow out of the top? No matter its mine for the long hall.

It might eventually branch lower down, but more likely it will get taller and then maybe branch. You can pinch out the tip once it gets 4 or 5 leaves and that will encourage branching.

How cold, way back 01/13/22?

Just curious, NorCal here so cold doesn't trigger me much when I read it.
Not that familiar with super-cold.

Hard to tell but that top leaf still looks off.
Like something's eating it from the inside.

Just guessing though, if it was that cold I think it'd kill off any bugs.

So this is the most hard luck plant ever. @ humbolt you are right he has been lunch. After taking the pic, a guest sitting just off to the left was complaining about fruit flies. I got a closer look and that fig was crawling alive with what I found out was fungus flies and well, that was the start of the buying of hard luck cases featured on my other post. I have taken down two inches of soil and tossed it bought fresh sprayed with organic essential oil pest control trying to keep him happy yet not hurt him in any way and the bug population is much much better.

good luck! There IS life after pests.. but it may take persistence..
