My Fig plant is really struggling. It was root bound when I got it so I repotted it and now this is what he looks like. 1st photo is what he looked like when I bought him 😢😭

Looks like you add too much water also make sure it gets sufficient indirect sunlight

Transplant shock. Also figs lose their leaves in winter. I would put it somewhere bright and cut back on watering until it’s warm enough to put back outside.
