Had a brutal week with a dying fiddle leaf fig in my living room

Lost 3 big leaves in 4 days and I panicked thinking it was root rot, but turns out it was just shocked from me moving it near a drafty window in December. Anyone else had a plant freak out over nothing?

My monstera did the exact same thing last January. I moved it six feet away from a heating vent and it dropped five leaves in a week. I checked for pests, checked for rot, did everything. Turned out it just hated the cold draft. I put it back in its original spot and it stopped dropping leaves almost immediately. Sometimes they really do just throw a fit over a small change.

Five leaves in a week?! That's insane.

@sarah's right. Plants and people both hate sudden changes.
