I need some HELP.I have never been successful at keeping a plant alive. With a lot of convincing and hesitation a friend gifted me a Fiddle Leaf Tree. She has one in her apartment and loves it. She specifically mentioned how easy they were to maintain. I am extremely committed to keeping this plant alive. I love her very very much and I fear its not as easy as she made it seem. This plant came from a nursery full grown. She is beautiful but upon further inspection could see some brown had been cut off. The gentleman who delivered her said to water her every 10 days with 1 qt of water. To not let the water pool at the bottom and empty the saucer. He said indirect sunlight was best. I have only one spot for her which is in between to windows that face north and west. the north window is blocked by a building and the west window gets decent sun. I live in sunny california however fall has begun and the weather is changing. More gloomy days which i fear will affect my tree. I have no other place for her that gets better sunlight and i am nervous. Today a leaf fell off and I'm on a spiral so I would love as much advice as possible. please see photos attached. ( side note : I bought a water stick and she is always moist except for on the 9/10 day it reads dry and thats when i water her )
