Just bought my first Fig plant and it seems like some kind of bug is eating it. The app says it’s overwatered but I mean the leaves are not doing too hot and i don’t know what to do. Anyone have an idea??? Thank you!

Wow so beautiful. I would put her directly in front of that window rather in the corner. I would spray the leaves with some type of plant soap and let sit to unalive any potential pests. Then I would rinse after it dried up and repot with fresh soil.
