    Brown leaf edges in rubber plant

    Bacterial leaf spot? Though it does look more like scorch, hmm. Sounds a bit out there, but any chance it could be a mineral problem? Boron deficiency?

    Has my fushia died?

    Sadly there is much less chance of it surviving if it was in a pot outside than if it was planted in a border. Even 'hardy' varieties can be killed if the root is thoroughly frozen
