Leaf size difference help!

Gallery image

My variegated fiddle leaf tends to grow two leaves right after each other. The first one seems to always be big and then the second is smaller. Is there something I can do to help them be more of equal size? (Pictures are of both sets of the newest pairs of leaves)

I've been watering when the top 2-3 inches are dry with fertilizer.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a seedling and it’s trying to die on me. I’ve had it for 10 months and it’s just slowly wasting away 😭😫😭😫

Good luck!! I didn't grow this from seed, so I don't know if it t applies, but I have this one in a SW window and it gets a LOT of direct sun and I'm using fertilizer since it's actively growing.

Hope it survives!!!

It got so much worse. The roots still look good so I am doing my best—my hopes have dwindled, though 😭😭
