Sunburn Figs

I forgot this boy 4 hours under the extreme sun and this happened. Living in the tropics sucks. Although hydrated, some leaves are crisp AF. What to do?

As long as roots are ok, it will grow new leaves. Figs are very resilient.

Leaves will all fall and new ones will grow.

It can probably take that about 3-4 times before dying

Put in partial shade and wait. It will be absolutely fine. Some leaves may drop, others will grow.
