My Ficus Auriculata made it through the freeze although it was killed back to the ground.  It's been growing back strong for a few weeks now and looked great, putting on a lot of new growth in short time.  It was flawless as recently as late last week.  2 days ago I noticed it drooping.  I figured there may be an issue with my sprinkler in the area so I drenched it with a hose.  It never really perked back up and from what I saw this morning that zone is working fine.  I just watered it again with the hose not seeing what else could possibly be wrong with it.  There are some minor brown spots on the leaves which happens when it gets to dry but I've never seen it completely wilt like this.  I can't find any pests, the cut from the old frozen trunk is firm with no rot, I even searched for beetle holes underneath after reading some of the palm horror stories on here.  Anyone have any thoughts?  This is one of my favorites and I'd really like to save it.  Thanks

I don't have any useful information for you, since I just started growing Ficus Auriculata/Roxburghii myself.  If it does croak, you can get replacements from Woodlander's.  They don't currently list any for sale, but that's where I bought mine.
