This is my fiddler leaf fig, a birthday gift from my wife a year old taking care of it. Any suggestions?

It’s beautiful and it looks so healthy. Looks like you got this. I have a FLF also and due to my own neglect she went south for a while, crunchy leaves and all. It was bad. Now I’m not one to use specific fertilizer for my plants, it’s usually a more general one, but I’d bought this one and never used it until a couple of weeks ago and only one time so far. All the leaves are soft and supple and I even have some new growth. I can’t imagine what I’d have if I’d been using it all along.  
I’ll use it regularly now.
