Hi, I am a new indoor plant grower in the central valley of CA (hot and dry). Ordered one Ficus - Fiddle Leaf Fig from an Ohio nursery. It was shipped (together with other 8 plants) on July 31 (Thur) and suppose to arrive on Sat. Unfortunately the big box was not delivered instead it was hold and put in the post office storeroom (hot and dry) over the weekend! Finally it arrived on Mon and I scrambled to set it (and all other plants) up, but all in bad shape. Few days after I repot it and took a picture on Aug 18 (see 1st pic). I believe it suffered too much heat and dryness during the transportation and the weekend saga. First it had two leaves at top darkened and three at bottom having brown spot. I often watered as I saw the soil always looked dry (not for other plants). And now after about one month, it still remain kind of saggy shape and on Aug 29 it lost a leaf from bottom (dried and fell off) and another from top. Aug 30 another leaf at bottom is falling off the same way. This fig is only about 12" tall and it came with 11 leaves. Now 8 leaves with one partially darkened on top and two with brown spot at bottom (see 2nd pic I took on Sept 1). Initially it was placed in living room with angled sky light (1st pic) and then moved to a room with big window facing south (have blind shade though, 2nd pic). I feel it's sick and need something to cure. But I don't know what? Please help. (so far I don't see anything growing, not taller, no new green or anything... )
