Drench it and let it completely drain! It could also just be reacting to the cold, depending on where you live. Banyan Figs are pretty resilient though so Iā€™m sure it will bounce back once warm weather and sunlight come! #### Alaa replied on 2024-02-16 This makes me feel little bit better! Do you think I should cut off the two dry/brown leaves? As you can see in the picture #### Alaa replied on 2024-02-16 Thank you for helping me šŸ™šŸ¼ this plant is my first plant I bought it when I moved alone to start university #### Karson replied on 2024-02-17 No problem! I would not cut the whole leaf, itā€™s usually best to leave it. You can cut off the brown parts though if you want. --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
