My weeping fig has some leaves that are showing dark areas (see attached photo). I am wondering if this is a fungus of some sort and how I should treat it.
Thanks

This looks like a fungus issue; possibly a black spot fungus. Here’s some organic possible ways to treat it. Hope they help:
Neem Oil Spray
- A natural fungicide and insecticide.
- Mix 1–2 teaspoons neem oil with a few drops of mild dish soap in 1 litre of water. Spray every 7–10 days.
Baking Soda Solution
- Antifungal properties help prevent spread.
- Mix 1 teaspoon baking soda + 1 litre of water + a few drops of liquid soap.
Potassium Bicarbonate Spray
- Stronger alternative to baking soda; effective against active fungal spores.
- Available at garden centres in organic formulations.
