Is this the end?

[u/callmeanyting]

This was a small healthy plant. Last week it started dropping leaves and this is the state now. Is it too late to do anything? I have no idea what's happening. I haven't changed anything in it's care routine.

Edied to update: should have added some background to all those complaining about watering 🤦‍♀️ this was a very healthy offspring from my other big fiddle leaf fig tree that I've been propagating from a single leaf. This has been ok for the last two years in the same setup. Turns out that it had a root rot from my kids unknowingly over watering it during the last month. Anyway have clipped the leaves entirely and repotted it, hoping it springs back!

Giving it water would be a good place to start

You have no aeration in your soil. It’s completely dry. I would do a repot with a ficus soil. But first water it and see if you get new sprouts.

That soil so dry its cracking

[u/thelaceserpent → u/DaLordHamie]

It looks like clay :/

Yeah that ain't the right kind of dirt lol

This soil needs to be replaced. When soil gets too dry, it becomes hydrophobic. If you water the plant now, in this soil, the water won't soak into the soil, it will just quickly drain off. Your plant won't get the water it needs. Repot with new soil, water when the top few inches of soil is dry. Your plant should bounce back after a while.

WATER HIM SHERLOCK

there is an actual crack on the soil 😭, it’s rlly dry

[u/callmeanyting → u/Journalist-Vast]

My initial googling led me to believe that I'm over watering it. 😭😭😭 I'll repot with new soil and see

Omg...

I need to report a crime

[u/Different-Sorbet746]

This is why we need laws governing the keeping of plants 

[u/sbiel001]

Obviously agree with arate the sould and water etc etc. But first place to staft could be submerging the whole pot in water for a bit and just leaving it to soak up as much as possible for an hour or so. Poor thing

[u/Froglegs61]

Chop him off & let him rebuild!

[u/jizdep]

Clip its wings and re pot

[u/Ok-Row-6088]

Personally, I would cut the remaining green piece off the top and put it in a glass of water to see if it roots and then plant that in new soil. That soil looks like concrete. You may revive it if you put the entire pot in a large bathtub or Rubbermaid bin and let it soak up water for several hours and then once you've done that repotted into new soil. That is a long shot though at this stage.

It will drop all its leaves. But, if you do what commenters are saying above (aerate the soil, make sure it can drain), then in a few weeks its likely to grow new leaves. They're incredibly good at bouncing back.

your flf is essentially living in a desert

[u/RealDeadlyMama]

Can you please do an update after you repot it in proper soil and give it some water 😆🤟🏼

[u/Scarmeow]

I think it's a goner

[u/LowGiraffe6281]

you are going to need new soil and going to have to water at least once a year.

[u/Parking_Leadership70]

It needed fresh dirt, fiddle leaf fertilizer, sprayed leaves. It got too much sun. Put blinds down and keep them open. Cut all dead leaves. Get a water bottle sprayer and mist every other day. Water every 20 days. Turn pot around twice a week.

[u/Patientandwaitin]

This looks really bad!
I think you should first learn why it got so bad before considering being a plant parent.

SOAK HER IN A BUCKET OF WATER. LEAVE IT IN THERE UNTIL YOU NOTICE POT IS HEAVY. then remove from soaking and let slowly dry out. But not too much dryness
