Got my fiddle leaf fig to finally push out two new leaves after months of nothing

Got my fiddle leaf fig to finally push out two new leaves after months of nothing. Turns out it hated the spot I'd moved it to—too far from the window. Soon as I brought it back closer to direct morning light, it woke up. Mine's finicky about watering too, so I check the soil every few days instead of sticking to a schedule. Has anyone else found theirs suddenly thrives once you stop overthinking it?
