Fiddle Leaf Fig Rust

Fiddle leaf fig rust

The treatment is similar to treating root rot: you'll want to make sure your plant's roots dry out between waterings and that it's getting plenty of sun. If the damage is not severe, cut off all of the leaves with brown spots and repot your plant with fresh, sterile soil in a container with good drainage.

Should I remove leaves with fig rust?

Rust is a common fig disease in the South and there is really no cure for it. The only way to stop the rust is to remove the infected leaves and destroy them. Since your plant is so young and all of the leaves are infected, you could possibly lose the plant, before it has a chance to put out new leaves.

What causes rust on fig leaves?

Fig rust, caused by the fungus Cerotelium fici (for- merly Physopella fici), is the most common disease of figs in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region of the southeastern U.S. Fig rust occurs only on the leaves and does not affect the fruit directly.

Will fig rust spread?

Generally, the rust does not affect the fruit. Hot, humid weather makes the fungi spore and spread and can cause leaves to drop, leaving bare branches and twigs. This process can happen very quickly, in just a few weeks. Defoliation can take place any time after fig rust strikes, often each year around the same time.
