I got this rubber plant about 2 months ago and it’s struggling. The leaves are drooping and falling off. I’ve watered 3 or 4 times, I try to let it dry well then water til it runs freely. It’s been sitting on the floor about 6 feet from south and east facing windows getting lots of light. I thought it might be too much sun so I just moved it to a corner that gets lots of indirect light. It was also about 6 feet from a radiator, which I thought was far enough since there’s no rushing air but maybe that was it. The soil is what it came in and seems fairly loose. Last picture is when I got it, and one of the stems shriveled up so I removed it completely 🙁

Water it more and more sunlight seriously you can’t give these too much sun they are trees they will take as much sun as you can give them amd water it when its dry 2 inches down dont let if fully dry out.
It’s too far away from windows to get sufficient light, especially if you live in northern hemisphere where it’s darkest time of year right now. Even few meters away from windows is closer to no-light than low light.
I also think you are not giving it enough water. In nature they grow in full, direct sunlight and prefer consistent moisture.
