Fiddle Leaf - Multiple trunks from one location

8 years ago

I recently purchased a fiddle leaf fig tree from a nursery and it came with three trunks/branches coming from the same location. As you can see in the photos, there is one straight one and two that are bending away from it. The two bent ones are struggling to grow their leaves and get enough sun, as they're often shaded and crowded by the leaves of the straight one. I can't tell if they are separate plants or one single plant with branches that grew out underneath the soil. Either way, I am worried about the bending and their competition for resources. As I'm a newbie at this, I would PREFER not to separate into different pots but am I dooming my plant if I don't?

Three trunks (branches?):
