Trying to get into this plant thing and I’ve been doing good with this rubber tree (not sure what kind) but now my leaves look like this, anyone know what it might be or what I can do?

I found a really good online article on Ohio Tropics  
I quickly found out that they don’t like drafts, especially cold ones. They love a well draining soil, not stay moist, and to let them dry out a bit but for not long.  
Also said that they are often underlit. That in the wild they usually grow in full sun or close to it, but can burn if you don’t slowly get them used to more sun.

Thank you so much! Hopefully I have a good update in a few weeks

I actually was wondering the same thing about 30 minutes ago, so glad you asked. I assumed draft since mine was in front of the AC. I’ve moved it so fingers crossed.
