I need some advice! Pls ignore my temporary pot set up😅 l'm the process of moving. I got this Ficus Lyrata/Fiddle leaf Fig about 2 weeks ago and it seems that his leaves have only gotten more brown. Not sure what I'm doing wrong & would love some suggestions!
Does the pot have drainage? My guess would be a nice repotting in a pot with solid drainage with some fresh soil will fix it in no time. Over all the plant looks fairly healthy

2 LikesMy fiddle leaf that was rescued from a big box store looked very similar. It was from over watering in my case. I replanted with a well draining chunky soil and let it dry out 25% between waterings and it has dropped a lot of its damaged leaves and has a lot of new growth. I would definitely check the soil with a chopstick or water meter before watering 😊
Also, if those damaged leaves near the bottom fall off and it’s looking leggy, you can always chop the top and propagate in water 😊 that’s what I plan on doing if my fiddle drops all of the damage. Then you’ll have a healthy plant once it roots.
