Hey everyone! I'm new to the fiddle leaf fig family, as I acquired one two weeks ago with what I feel has great potential.
The top left photo is how it started two weeks ago. The bottom left is how it's going today. The first thing I did was get some supports. The stems are so thin and lanky, the weight of the leaves kept it bent over touching the ground. The soil was Sahara-level dry, so I bottom watered with some filtered water (city water suuuuucks here) overnight when I got her. The soil remained moist up until I bottom fed once more two days ago (about 11 days from first water) with a tiny — and I mean tiny — amount of miracle grow plant food (please dont judge me if im doing it all wrong ☹️). I also gave the leaves a good water bath to remove the dust and whatever else had accumulated on them.
I have three concerns regarding the leaves that need guidance, however. I have two leaves displaying yellowish/brownish discoloration, as shown in the top right photo, I have two leaves that are crinkled up, as shown in the middle photo, and I have one with the brownish spots on the underside of the leaf, as shown in the bottom right photo.
I also know I need to repot in new soil, so any guidance on that topic would be greatly, greatly appreciated, as well. Thank y'all in advance 😊!
