These are some leaves from my fiddle leaf fig. Slowly they are starting to go bad but the rest of the tree looks okay. What am I doing wrong? I recently fertilised and it’s in filtered indoor lift.

Probably several things, but no pix showed up. Brown edges could indicate fertilizer burn, or cramped toes; Yellow would be over watered; if you are metering the water, try giving it a deep soak (and for the sake of bugs use a wee bit of soap in the water, and soak the leaves, too, then rinse off).
When trees are involved in a drouth: first they drop leaves, then they slough off branches, lastly they simply die. Figs need root room, stronger lite. The deep soaks also remove salt buildup from fertilizers.
