For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.tip it out of the pot and check for vine weevil. Be careful as the beggars are nasty and can wreck most pots so tip the soil inot or onto something so that none of it escapes. Vine weeevil grubs are glistening white , they get browner ans the get older. If you find them, shake as much siol as you can out of the roots and check carefully for grubs. Put the lot ina bag and dispose of it outside your garden (not into the garden of an enemy either lol) Repot the fig into new earth and clean the pot thoroughly and treat the soil and all your other pots with provado vine weevil killer.
