I've had this fig tree for months now, and it never showed any sign of being unhappy with its watering schedule, light, etc. These last two weeks, its been droopy and its leaves feel almost crispy. I watered it yesterday, thinking that was the issue, and it looks even worse today! Any ideas?

We did have a cold snap around 2 weeks ago and lost heat for about 24 hours. Inside temperature dropped to... 40F? Maybe 50F, I didn't check. Our window insulation isn't great, but its about 6 feet from any windows.

The room itself is the brightest in the house, with S and W facing windows.

Maybe just getting too dry with the heat cranked up (when it's working)?

Time frame works if it started looking bad when the cold snap hit.

Winters can be tough on plants.

Mine tend to slow down a lot during the winter, so on one hand I want to water less.

But if the heat's going the soil dries out more quickly and I want to water more.

Plants water needs can really increase when the dry heat is running a lot.

I doubt your heat loss was the cause- unless you're in a drafty very old house, while you felt pretty chilly, I don't think it got below 50 in a day.

Real cause? I have no guess..
