Hi,

I have had my fiddle leaf fig since January 15 and it seems to be going well. It has grown around 4 or 5 new leaves since i bought her. The new growth looks beautiful with big green glossy leaves.

The older leaves towards the base have just started to get a fee small holes in the leaves and wanted to check it out now rather than it wait until it got worse - see image 3 & 4

The plant is in a smallish pot that i bought it in. Next spring (September) i was going to re-pot it in a larger pot

I water the plant every 2 weeks. I sit it in the sink and fill the bowl up and let it sit for an hour or so. Then leave it in the sink to completely drain for a few hours before moving it back into the living room. It sits by the window and doesn't get direct sunlight.

Around the end of summer (February) i gave it some slow release fertilizer.

I can not see any bugs on the plant .

Thank you in advance.
