# So a friend bought me this dwarf fiddle leaf plant and had it shipped…

_Posted by Tae on 2023-07-17_

So a friend bought me this dwarf fiddle leaf plant and had it shipped to me. I have not done anything to it besides remove it from the box, water it and spray it and clean off the leaves. Two leaves fell off this Am, I saw some small brown spots under one of the leaves, and 3-4 leaves that looks like it is drying out.

I need some help because I heard about how sensitive this plant is and I want it to live past this week.

Just find a permanent spot and don’t move it. It is likely stressed from the shipping. Sounds like you have done everything right so far.

Okay thank you so much. I’m using a plant light in case it wasn’t getting enough light. Do you think that’s too much for it long term?

#### Corgi Mom replied on 2023-07-20

It depends on what natural light it’s getting?

The brown spots are edema and that’s normal. Agreed with the other comment it’s just stressed. It looks beautiful and healthy from the photos

Thank you so much. Getting this plant has been stressed since it’s so sensitive
