My fiddle leaf is about 7 feet tall and has two very skinny trunks. It still grows leaves regularly, but neither stalk has grown any branches and it has been leaning significantly (I have them tied together to stand up better). How do I best care for it? Could I try cutting and propagating at a higher node, repotting that and notching to encourage branching? Or is it risky?

Your tree is begging for more light.
Shake it regularly to simulate wind and the trunk will gradually thicken. I did this with one of my trees and not to another. Over the course of a couple years the one I shook aggressively thickened up a lot
Needs super bright light and a ton of it.
