Losing leaves on fiddle leaf fig

My fiddle leaf fig has lost all but one leaf. And I think it’s going to lose this last one too. It’s gone through cycles of losing leaves before, but it’s never lost all of them. And it has always eventually grown more leaves back than it lost. Pictures are of this last leaf left - this is what the leaves look like before losing them. Can anyone tell me what the issue is? And if I can fix I it, how? #FiddleLeafFig
1ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
@EarthWax Hello you have root rot sorry too say. You may be able to save it by taking it out of the pot and checking roots and removing any that are soft mushy or stink . After that water sparingly I always bottom water it till it settles down. But start by rinsing the roots off with a water and a little peroxide solution to help and prevent more . After that make sure not to water until the soil is completely dry . I use cactus soil and as mentioned above bottom water when dry . Lucky you with some sun and cutting back will take care of the rest . Good luck
Can you tell me about light and watering? How much of both it’s getting?
