Finally got my fiddle leaf fig to stop dropping leaves—turns out it hated being moved around

Finally got my fiddle leaf fig to stop dropping leaves—turns out it hated being moved around. I kept it in one bright spot near the window and stopped fussing with it, and three months later it's actually putting out new growth. Mediterranean light helps, but honestly the real trick was leaving it alone. Mine's still only about two feet tall after a year, but at least it's alive now. Anyone else struggle with the constant leaf drop, or was that just me being impatient?
