Meet my Ficus lyrata, Annabel. She lives in my room and gets a good amount of sun from two opposite facing windows. Lately she has been loosing a lot of leaves. She finally stopped about a week ago but now she is very spindly and I am not sure how to help her recover. Can anyone help? If you need more details I would be happy to provide them. I just want beautiful girl to look her best again! Thanks🤍🪴

They like to go almost completely dry btwn waterings, bright sun right in a window and stay in 1 spot.

I do both but I’m just wondering how to make it recover faster because all the leaves just started dropping and it isn’t growing anymore

Fiddles are a very slow process for me, how people grow them quickly blows my mind 😩
