I've had my fiddle leaf fig for around six months, and it's been a bit concerning. It hasn't produced any new leaves, and lately, it's been turning a pale green color, though it hasn't yellowed. It's positioned in a south-facing window and gets fertilized every time I water it. I water it when it starts to droop and let the soil dry out between waterings. It seems stable but isn't thriving. Any tips on what might be going wrong?

Could you share a picture of your plant? Also, make sure your pot has good drainage—sometimes, even if there are holes, it can still hold onto too much water. That could lead to issues with growth too!
It might be too much fertilizer! I know my fiddle leaf fig isn't doing well either, and over-fertilizing can definitely cause issues like root burn. Maybe try cutting back on how often you're fertilizing it and see if that helps.
Just added a picture! The pot does have plenty of drainage holes, though!
