Fig, leaves with light colored spots

Hello, please, I could use a little help with a fig sapling. It was obtained from a stump, put to take roots in September 2023. It has been in the house the whole time, at the end of February I took it out onto the balcony (a closed balcony), where when it is sunny, it shines all day, from sunrise to sunset. By January, the spots in the picture appeared and have been spreading. I apply bottom-watering and I fertilize it every 2 weeks with an all purpose fertilizer.
In the same pot, there are two plants (the same generation), the other one is currently unaffected.
Thanks for the help.

Hello. To help you with recommendations and advice please send us more clear photos of the affected leaves, as well as more details on how you care for your fig tree: what were the environmental conditions before the plant was moved to the balcony (light, temperature, humidity, location), what are the current conditions (temperature, humidity, whether there are draughts in the vicinity of the plant – windows open), whether the container has drainage holes, whether the substrate dries out before watering, whether water seeps quickly into the substrate and whether you have carried out any treatments.

Good evening, thank you for your reply. The details are as follows.
The rooting was done in the same container. Until moving it to the closed balcony, it stayed in a bright space without direct sun. The average temperature was 23°C (with a low of 22 and a high of 28), between September 2023 and January 2024. The humidity (average) was 45%, there were no draughts. During this period it was not fertilized because it had only two leaves, quite small. Irrigation was exclusively from the bottom and not from above; before irrigating the substrate did not dry out.
Since the end of February 2024, because the weather permitted (sunny days 4-5 in a row) we moved it to a closed balcony, but which has a half-open window. The orientation is south, so the sun is shining all day, directly. The watering (weekly) and fertilizing were carried out by the same method, from the bottom. The fertilizer used is Biopon Universal, once every 14 days, in the concentration specified by the manufacturer. I noticed the first spots around December 2023, they were very small, right next to the petiole. Since then, they have kept growing, in number and size.

From the inserted images, the plant has a severe mite infestation. Two treatments can be carried out against them, 7 days apart, with Vertimec 1.8 EC, 100 ml, in a dose of 10 ml in 10 L water. To increase the effectiveness of the insecticide, it is recommended to add an adjuvant such as Break Thru S 240, 2 ml, in a dose of 2 ml/10 L to the solution. It is advisable to prepare a volume of solution corresponding to a single treatment (respecting the mentioned dosage), as the already prepared mixture does not have a shelf life of more than 24 hours.
It is important that the solution is sprayed finely and over the whole plant, including the underside of the leaves. 7-10 days after the treatments, it is advisable to use a maintenance product such as Contra X, 500 ml, applied directly by spraying, as described in the product description. It supports the regeneration of plants after certain conditions of stress, or if they have suffered from pest attacks. More information on the care of this species can be found in our article in the Armuro Community: Fig, planting, growing and harvesting.
