I have this fiddle leaf fig and it grew a new leaf recently. It was doing really well but today its drooping. All of the other leaves look the same. Its right next to a window and I water it about once a week. Is there a problem with it and if there is what do you think it is?

Btw I meant all of the other leaves look the same as they usually do, not that they are also drooping.

on a lot of plants, a new leaf usually means an old one might let go

Sorry i wasn't clear. The new leaf is actually the one that is drooping

It happens when the new leaf gets too large/heavy but is still too pliable. Don’t worry about it — in a few days it’ll get more rigid and may regain its original shape, or it may just become rigid in its current, bent shape, which makes your tree beautiful nonetheless.

Good to know! Thank you
