Fiddle Leaf Fig

What’s wrong with my fiddle leaf?


I bought it two or three months ago and it had some bad red spots on its leaves already. My guess is because the nursery did not water it enough because as soon as it came to my home, it started popping out new leaves almost every week. It had a mealy bug infestation that I took care of. I got it a growth light, and I’m continuing the look after it the same way, but now my new leaves are showing the same problem. Curling leaves and red spots, one of the bottom leaves are cracking. I want to make sure it’s doing alright, but I’m unsure what’s wrong with her.

The soil smelled rotten at one point, so I skipped a week. The soil smells fine now but maybe skipping a week made it stressed? How should I approach this? If I’m watering it every week, it might not be a good idea with the coming winter months, but it seems to like the consistency. What should I do? I don’t want deformed leaves.

Also note I know she’s dusty, she had a shower watering yesterday and I haven’t gotten around to wiping her leaves.

I also haven’t repotted her since I got her from the nursery because I was afraid of stressing the plant.

Any advice would really help, thank you!
