Q.Worried My Fiddle As Root Rot
I noticed this type of spot on two of my leaves this week. Does this look like root rot? The spots are very small and are only affecting two-three leaves, so am I being dramatic or should I get a treatment ASAP to prevent further issues?

Repotting is a lot of stress. More than necessary. At this stage, treatment is possible. Just be sure to let it dry out between watering.

Yes. This is the start of rot.

It will be best to correct the watering habits that lead to these types of infections, as well. Make sure that the soil has a chance to dry out thoroughly between waterings, at least, down to an inch. Drying out just a little deeper than this is even better.

Do you think I need to repot immediately or is it mild enough to where I can use a treatment and not repot?
