she's dying help
Whats going in new to this tree. Purchased her two months ago and have lost 80% of her leaves. I'm using an app with a probe that gives me specific information about the soil light water all of that. Everything's been spot on for the last three weeks. Upon arrival she lost most of her leaves. Today she's dropped three leaves. Not sure if she's happy here what do you think?

Does it go outside at all and recently? Do you water/mist the leaves or stems? Has it been sunny, windy, or raining when outside? How often do you water the plant? Has it got good drainage? Do you drain the tray the plant sits in?
I vote either overwatering, or lack of light. How often do you water? Fiddle leafs like bright light, and you should let the soil dry out before rewatering.
The plant appears to have fungal gnats, which can be a common problem in indoor plants. These gnats are attracted to the moisture on the leaves and can cause damage by feeding on the plant's tissue. To fix this issue, the following steps can be taken: 1. Isolate the plant from other plants in the room to prevent the spread of the fungal gnats. 2. Move the plant to a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to help dry out the leaves and reduce the moisture content. 3. Prune off any affected leaves and discard them. 4. Repot the plant in a new pot with fresh potting soil, making sure to remove any soil that may be infected with the fungus. 5. Water the plant sparingly and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. 6. Use a neem oil spray or apply insecticidal soap to the plant to help control the fungal gnats. 7. Monitor the plant regularly for signs of further infestation and take appropriate action if necessary. It is important to note that prevention is better than cure. To prevent fungal gnats, keep the plant away from moisture-rich areas and ensure good air circulation. The plant may need to be repotted and watered less frequently to prevent overwatering
