I recently repotted my fiddle leaf with miracle gro potting mix but the leaves are turning yellow and three have fallen off today. It was already looking unwell before I repotted so I changed up the soil bc I was afraid of bugs, even though I couldn’t find any. I have new growth but it’s not looking well. Is my plant done for? I’m at such a loss

Looks like not enough perlite and potentially fertiliser burn. These plants grow in fast draining rocky sand so you need to up the drainage factor (I use 60% perlite to soil with no rocks at the bottom so there’s a consistent pull on water to the bottom of the pot after doing research as it drains really well) and get a full spectrum fertiliser like gt foliage focus to add to water every 2 weeks. I don’t trust slow release as you can’t measure how much the plant is getting.
Lastly moderate light and inside when cold out. Hope that helps
