is it smushy? or firm? a firm stem is a healthy stem

It’s a firm stem

i’m not a fig expert but i’d say continue caring for it as normal, maybe move it to higher light if possible to help it recover.

This EXACT thing happened to my baby fiddle- I left it alone watered it a a bit less than normal and it sprouted up some new leaves and looks on the mend now :))

Mine Randomly dropped almost all its leaves in December I didn’t change anything. The only variables I can think of where that our weather suddenly dropped to below freezing for days \& our kids were home from college - which meant lots of in \& out of the front door, causing a draft that little figgy wasn’t used to! He’s since been slowly recovering though…
