Should I treat it , or let nature take its course with the other figs indoors. They will go in a sunny window for a while before they visit a cool dark corner of an unused room.

There is a kind of fungus that fig leaves are susceptible to, I think it is named some kind of "rust"? It is supposed to be spread when it is humid, but I really noticed it on mine when they were heat stressed. I never worried about it, but I didn't bring mine inside. If I were, I probably would research and find a spray for it.
