Recently got this fig tree of off Facebook who could no longer care for it, hence its condition. The bottom leaves r dropping and I’m getting red spots on the new leaf growth. Along with this I appear to have a fruit fly infestation, but I’m not quite sure if that could be harming the plant at all. Any and all advice will be appreciated. Thank you 🙏

Move it to a bright window.
Don’t worry about the red spots, they’ll grow out. It could be a sign of inconsistent watering though. How are you watering it?
It honestly looks like it’s pretty healthy to me, fiddles are so picky and if it wasn’t doing ok it would NOT put out new growth. Make sure it gets enough light and take care of that bug problem.
Needs way more light
Needs more bright indirect light
Don’t worry if it drops leaves or otherwise protests a move to better light. Give it time to adjust. New growth is a good sign. Mine always sends leaves with the speckles that look like rust. They grow out just fine.
