My plants that I started from twigs is all of a sudden not looking too hot.
Yes, they need to be potted up and probably fertilized one of the plants has brown circle dots on its leaves and a couple of others have discolored blotchy looking leaves - is this what mosaic virus?

       

Most likely,lack of drainage,media too wet.

I would gently slide it out of cup or scratch the bark at soil line if bark peals away not good . You will have to cut rooted part off and re root. But do your best and look for trouble. I have been through this
If you slide it out of cup and not to bad of shape you can change medium out to new dry soil.

Droopy leaves and brown spots are signs of stress, usually insufficient water, or too much sun/heat. However, too wet and too dry can often look similar. Too wet can reduce water uptake just as too little water can. The difference is this: too little water is easily fixed by adding water (transport is available, but water is not); too much water usually leads to rot of the roots or stem (rotted roots, etc. do not transport water - water is available but transport is not).

Looks like he will need to slide out of cup look at damage and cut and re root is my guess

Hi,
Different deficiencies ( Lack of nutrients, water , space to hide the roots to keep them fresh...) for me.
So I would urgently pot up to a gallon pot.
Are they still inside ? This time of the year they should be outside - fig trees are outside trees. They need wind, cold, hot, rain to challenge them.
Do not forget to adapt them to the outside; don't put them outside full sun directly.

I don't think this applies to your situation, but it's worth noting for fig growers in some parts of the country. I've had young, in-ground figs look similar and eventually die, and when I checked the roots, found that beetle grubs had eaten virtually all of them. I had a Smith die last year, and when I dug it up, all that was left underground was the main stem--and nine big, white, C-shaped grubs. They had even eaten the bark off of the underground stem, as well as chewed little trails into the wood. They seem to prefer some varieties over others--grubs killed an LSU Scott's Black but didn't touch a UCR 135-15s growing right next to it.

Epsom salt could help.

The pictures are my Galica Negra that was sick looking also. I gave it some and poof. It was greener in about a week. If the problem is lack of Magnesium which is need for photosynthesis.

Somewhere I read this information and it stuck.  If the leaves turn yellow or brown at the tips, not enough water.  If the same thing happens at the stems, too much water.  Not sure if this helps you, but my figs are all in ground, and easy to tell when an emitter (drip system) has stopped working.

Wishing you luck!

Luigi - Yes, that is what FMV looks like but your plant definitely looks sad from being overwatered. Picture of the clear cup and roots would help. It looks like that plant has been in that cup for awhile and needs to be up-potted. Up-pot into some fresh soil and it will help wick some moisture away. Also, if you haven't already, start to slowly transition outside.

This plant has been outside since June. I think its toast. I potted up and use some worm casting but I think its toast.  :(

So how do I start over with this one twig? I really want to make this guys work. Its my last VDB twig as the other also died.

I have other twigs in sub-irrigated cups (Carini and Florida Honey) and they are doing fine. I guess VDB likes it on the super dry side. Everytime I picked it up it felt like air. The days were getting hotter and more humid so I decided to top water and I think that was the end. :( I gave it too much love at the end. lol

Regarding FMV, does it transfer from plant to plant? Should I have asked the people I got twig from if their plant had FMV? What does FMV do to a fig plant? I have one very healthy 3-yr old Chicago Hardy and I don't want it to get sick to...

What did the roots look like. Is the bark easily peeled off. Were the roots moist. If so i would cut rot off starting at bottom because if bottom is rotting it will die but you can save top. If top is good pull leaves off to make a new cutting cut very top off too. Wrap it fully up in plastic wrap put in refrigerator for one month. Only do this if plant is rotted at bottom.

figpig, so I need to stick it in the refridgerator for month before I can start over again? (after cutting off the dead/rotted part?)

Wrap in plastic wrap first. Make sure its dry.
