I have just bought a Java fern but it's got brown/rust colored spots all over it, I'm sure it's needing something. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
 
Top or underside of the leaves?
 
Any way to get a photo of it?
 
here's the photo. hope it works.

That will happen to older java fern leaves. A lot of mine were like that when I bought them too. You may see little plantlets growing out of some of the spots. I'll usually wait to clip leaves that look like that until they start to turn yellow.

That has been my experience. I freaked when mine did that but then I saw baby plants growing on the spots and I was all WOOHOO!
