Do you fertilize? I use some fertilizer I got from Amazon for a fiddle leaf fig I tried to grow and couldn’t. So I started using that fertilizer on my ficus because it’s in the same family and it loves it.

Yes with a type that goes in water, what kind do you use? And thank you!

It could still be from adjusting to a new environment, but also you wanna make sure you’re providing adequate lighting. These plants can tolerate/survive low lighting but they will not thrive unless given good amounts of sunlight every day.

This is what I use for my ficus and I have it sitting on a pebble tray to make sure it keeps the proper humidity to keep that tropical environment at all times while given it bright indirect light. I also use a self watering pot

I had the fiddle leaf in which went to the graveyard 🤦🏽‍♀️so both plants are in the ficus family

What kind is it? Ideally avoid the super low concentration ones. 4-3-6 is probably the lowest type i have unless its specialized. If its a water every time one, it should have an option for a "full" feeding. I'd do one every 3-4 weeks
