Brown spots on leave of Fiddle Leaf Fig

Hello,

I purchased my first fiddle leaf fig about a month ago. I've wanted one for quite some time and finally bought one after doing some homework on how to care for them.

It's been doing great in a corner of our living room that receives good indirect light and no harsh drafts from the a/c. In fact, after 2 weeks it started to put on new growth and quickly acquired 3-4 new leaves.

Recently though, we've noticed that it is dropping some lower leaves. Some leaves also have brown spots.

I try to let it dry out a bit before watering. Usually when I notice the upper most leaf just start to droop.

Could I be overwatering? Or is it not receiving enough light? Or could it still be acclimating to its new environment?

Also, how often should I fertilize it?

Thank you for helping out a fiddle leaf fig newbie!
