My fiddle leaf fig finally grew a new leaf after sitting still for three months, and I'm oddly proud of it

My fiddle leaf fig finally grew a new leaf after sitting still for three months, and I'm oddly proud of it. I think the issue was me overwatering—I've backed off to just checking the soil once a week and letting it dry out more between waterings. It's still smaller than I'd like, but at least it's moving now. Anyone else find these things are fussier about water than people say, or is it just me?
