Fiddle Leaf Fig

Trying to save this one


For context, we have had this ficus for 2.5 years. It gets bright, indirect light all day. I water it weekly & fertilize frequently. When we bought this one, it was much fuller but, in the first few months, dropped many of the lower leaves (likely due to stress of moving & figuring out the watering schedule). Since then, we have only lost a leaf or two here & there & have a decent amount of new, healthy looking growth at the top. However, we always have a few leaves with brown spots. I also know that I need to repot it. It is still in the nursery pot we brought it home in & I am currently looking for a pot the right size to go in the decorative pot it is currently sitting in. So, any ideas as to what might be going on here?

    1: Please remove from black plastic pot and replant with good drainable soil in large white pot-
    2: Feed it- others have suggested https://a.co/d/5s22WN4. Use as directed.

    brown spots is likely from under or overwatering, considering the new growth looks really healthy I wouldn’t be too concerned with the older ones.
