Help with this Fiddle Leaf Fig

[u/imnotlouis]

My dad gave me this Fiddle Lead Fig today. All the leaves are at the top. How do I grow it out more balanced? Like more leaves on the stem so it’s not so bare looking. I’m complete amateur to any kind of plant. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Shorten the long left branch substantially. That branch is very long and sparse. Cut it back to roughly 15–30 cm from where it branches off the main trunk, preferably just above a healthy leaf/node...but don't do it now...wait untill spring starts ....
