I have a rubber plant that had mealybugs. I treated them, then took the plant outside to wash the leaves off and the branches bent over. Since then they have not recovered.
Watering habits are that I use a moisture measurer and water when dry. Light is decent as you can see from the photos (this is mid afternoon sun). Drainage is ok in the pot too.
Should I be cutting it back? Should I be tying the branches upright with bamboo? It is autumn where I live.
Thanks!

if the leaves seem firm and don’t show signs of overwatering (mushiness) or underwatering (wilting) this may just be how it’s growing. you could try staking it with bamboo to make it grow more upright or try cutting it back to get it to grow back bushier
