I bought a fiddle leaf fig plant from Costco 2 days ago. We placed it in an area with indirect sunlight. We also watered it after checking the soil was dry (we have hard water where I live). The plant isn't doing great 2 days later but what's worse is that we just notice bright blue powder on the leaves. We just wiped it down with a damp cloth after taking photos. Could someone confirm if the blue powder is some kind of pesticide/plant treatment residue or if it is mildew? I don't believe the blue powder was visible when we bought it, and it was healthy. One note is that our humidity is a little low (we had a humidifier running near the plant the night before). Thanks in advance!

The blue is likely something from the nursery, yes, probably fertilizer or one if those sorts to mske tge leaves glossy but I doubt thats whats causing your issues, whenbyou bought it what was the outside temperatures and how long was it outside its very likely you accidentally caused cold damage transporting it and unfortunately those leaves will not recover but it will eventually grow new ones.
