I am having a problem with my Fiddle leaf fig. I’m new to plants and I am not sure what is wrong. If anyone can give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Looks like it might be a watering and/or light problem. Since you’re new to plants, I’d suggest getting a moisture meter to test the moisture level before watering… the schedules aren’t always a sure thing. Water when top 3-4” is dry. Be sure he’s getting PLENTY of light; mine is in my brightest window. Feed him plant food regularly, esp when he puts out new growth. I hope this helps! Fiddle figs are not the easiest of houseplants, so good luck! Here’s mine. 🌿
