Hi friends, major help needed for a new plant mom!
Why did my fiddle leaf drop 10 leaves in 1 week? Some were fully green!
No new budding for the last 3 months. Climate: New york city summer (85+ degrees with humidity)
Some of the leaves were still green. The other problematic ones are pictured.
-bought the plant 2.5 months ago
-3 ft tall, 11 inch pot
-BUGS: I saw spider webs around the roots so repotted the plant. Then started seeing Fungus ghats in my bedroom so I have been around for about 2 weeks so I started a Neem Oil treatment for the past 2 weeks for all my plants. I noticed that in the soil, there is thin silvery black flying insects burrowing around. Also saw a worm.
-repotted for the first time 6 weeks ago but saw the bugs in the soil still after that. No root rot
-in air conditioned bed room 4 feet from a North East facing window
-regular potting soil in plastic pot with drainage hole
-top watering when very dry soil and no fertilizer
