I rescued this fiddle leaf for $5 at a local produce store. It was in a pot with basically no soil. I replanted a few months ago and it’s doing better but there is no new areas where there is any new growth. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Have you been fertilizing it? If it might need a bigger pot but I’m not too sure

Thanks! I should definitely fertilize it more

Try misting with heavily diluted fish emulsion ! Also fiddles aren’t crazy about direct sunlight. North facing windows have been a favorite for my fiddles or in a lit corner . Hope it helps!
