Hi RoxiT, Welcome!

Oh my, your poor Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata) Crying

As a human Floridian, I can't imagine being subjected to -30ºF ... even for a very short period of time and I know a tropical plant really wouldn't be happy with those temp's either. Smiling I'd advise to keep it in a warm, bright location, cut back on water and don't mist the leaves. Cold, combined with wet = fungal issues.

I wouldn't give up on it completely, plants can surprise us sometimes and as long as the roots didn't freeze, there's hope! Be very careful with watering at this time of year; when plants aren't actively growing they need less moisture.
