    When this happened to mine I cut the top and water propagated it. I didn’t have root hormones at the time but it worked just fine without it. Took a while but it grow roots (but I did it in the fall.)

    You could try adding keikei paste to the nodes to trigger some new growth. Honestly, I would just chop, prop it and restart it like Chrissie suggested. I would also cut the stems in 2-3 inch chunks and prop those in soil. How much light is the plant getting? Leggy growth and dropped leaves could be a sign of not enough light.

    Try notching to create branches. I’m also trying it with my rubber plant. Fiddle leaf fig girl explains it pretty well. You could try doing a top cut alternatively but you may not get good branches where you want. I’ve also seen people bonsai their plant to bend the main trunk so the plant creates a new leader. You don’t have a ton of plant (leaves) to do a top cut and leave some leaves on the mother and some stem for the baby
