It does have drainage. I usually water it enough so that water drains out the bottom into the tray (I tend to water enough where I need to soak the excess up into a towel from the tray). I use to take it into the bathroom and thoroughly flush it with every watering, but it has gotten so big that I cant do that anymore. I water it about every two weeks, making sure the soil is pretty dry a few inches down, depending on the weather. I'm in L.A. and it gets lots of light so sometimes it dries out faster in hot weather. When I repotted it, I flushed the roots with water and didnt root prune per se, but roots did break off, I believe they had weakened due to the salt. Because of the salt, I rinsed quite thoroughly to make sure the old soil was all removed. I have a feeling this is where I went wrong :/ As for soil, I use Edna's Best and I mix in Orchid Bark and Perlite for drainage. I have not fertilized since I repotted, but prior to that I used Jobe's Fertilizer Spikes and replace every 8 weeks or so which I start in the spring. It had lots of new growth through spring and summer, but I hadnt seen any new growth for the last month (where as the other FLFs each just had new growth). The leaves at the the base of the branches are all dying off, but the tops are still healthy and shiny. What can I do to make it stop? Is there any way to save it? I'm worried that this will make its way through the branches and kill those off too. Should I be pruning the branches or just leaving it alone? Thanks for your help!

Greetings to you in beautiful Prince Edward Island. I'll put my two cents worth in and say I'm virtually 100% sure the cold the fig was exposed to during the transfer home is what's 'doing it in'. (I believe 'Jean' nailed it in her first post.) You didn't mention, but I'm guessing the plant was not wrapped up at all after buying it, and it was just 'naked' as you took it to your car. Sure death. In such cold, plants need to have two kinds of wrapping: 1. lots of paper around the whole thing, including the pot, (stapled shut all over the paper wrapping) and 2. a tight seal of plastic (huge bag or well sealed sheets of plastic) around the paper layer. Even with this, the transporting vehicle needs to be pre-warmed up and waiting close to the door of the store/greenhouse when you bring it out. Two things: 1) Even the briefest exposure to real cold (particularly -21c) will effectively kill off, at minimum, all the growth above ground. The roots might have survived, as alluded to by 'Jean'. 2) The plant's ride home in a cold car continued the assault. Even if the car warmed up quite quickly, at such cold temps, the interior goes down to way below zero (celcius) in a matter of minutes when parked, so that the leaves were still freezing for a while even after getting into the vehicle. When I was in university, a fellow student lugged a HUGE, beautiful houseplant from one building to another in the dead of winter without any wrapping/protection. It wasn't outside more than about 45 seconds. Dead in a few days :( I'll add that your concerns about its welfare in your drafty old house are inconsequential in comparison. The south window sounds ideal. These ficusses (ficii?) like lots of light. Do, however, make sure there's no hot air from a furnace vent blowing directly on it. I fried one side of my 'lemon cypress' earlier this winter when I didn't pay attention that its summer position put it in the direct path of the furnace vent by that garden door.

Have a photo of the pot? Soil? Drain holes? Looks to be over or under watered, which will give the same response.

Jordan, you'll have a better response on the House plant forum.
