AITA for freezing out my roommate over my ex's plant?

okay so background... me (22f) and my ex sam (23m) broke up about two months ago after two years together. when we were still together he bought us a fiddle leaf fig as like a "growing together" gift, cheesy i know. after he moved out i kept it bc i was the one who repotted it, fed it, dragged it in and out of the sun every day for like eight months while he barely watered it once. last week my roommate mara (24f) let him into our apartment while i was at class to grab "his stuff." i came home and the fig was just... gone. no note, no text warning me, nothing. when i asked her about it she said he technically bought it so it was fair and she felt bad saying no bc he seemed really down. i haven't really spoken to her since besides logistics stuff like rent. our group chat with our other roommate has gone quiet too, i think everyone's picking a side without saying it out loud. i feel like she let someone into our home behind my back to take something i spent months keeping alive, but some of my friends say i'm being dramatic bc it was "just a plant" and he did technically pay for it originally. so... AITA for freezing mara out over this 馃尡
