I was given this fiddle leaf fig on Friday night and had to carry it home outside for about 20 minutes in 20F weather. It was green on Friday and almost all leaves have since turned brown. In a spot that gets direct sunlight in the late afternoon but it’s winter, so sunlight isn’t super strong. I typically water my plants on Mondays so it hasn’t been watered since I brought it home. I haven’t checked the soil quality yet.

    Cold damage, it shows up a day or two after initial exposure so all foliage will fall off. 50/50 chance of survival. I work at a greenhouse and even from the store to the car we wrap plants in paper or plastic bags.

    Did you bring it to my house. I can grow just about anything but fiddle leaf figs die upon entry.
