Hi everyone. I am very novice when it comes to plants, however I recently purchased a fiddle leaf fig approx 2 weeks ago and it has started getting brown spots on the leaves. I purchased it from a reputable nursery in Toronto, and maybe 1 or 2 leaves had a tiny bit of browning on it, but certainly not the whole plant. Since then, almost all of the lower leafs are going brown, the top leaves are perfect though. Any idea what is causing this? I did give it a bit of fertilizer, per the instructions given to me from the plant guy at the nursery. I'm thinking maybe that's the cause?

I checked for bugs and nothing. I live in a South facing condo and thought maybe I had it too far from the window so I've been using a full spectrum light on it throughout the day/evening but it hasn't helped. Today I moved it a bit closer to the window and started misting it with water to see if that helps. Am I over watering it? Can it be saved?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
