Help! New Fiddle Leaf Fig Owner

Hello all, new member here -

I bought my first little FLF tree today from Home Depot. Now that I am home with it I am at a stand still. I am hoping someone can help guide me in the right direction!

I have been reading about under watering and over watering. I have stuck my finger down about an inch from the top and through one of the holes at the bottom - the soil is not completely dry, but also not damp. I am thinking I should water it, but how much water? Is it okay to give it water from the faucet or should I stick to distilled only?

Also, the pot it is currently in has two plants. There are two separate stems with branches and leaves. Would it be best to repot each of these into their own containers or leave them together? Also, is it too early to repot since the plant is still so small?

I have high hopes for this little lady. I am a first time plant/tree owner, so please excuse my naiveness. :-)

Thank you in advance for any advice you may care to share!

Erin
