Hi!  
I saved this guy from the liquidation pile, but its leaves keep falling off. The small stem just lost its last leaf and I’m scared this is the beginning of the end. Any tips for helping this guy survive?  
Thank you!

Same story for my tineke! I repotted him as soon as I got him, since he was in soaking wet soil. He lost all but two leaves. ☠️ I have him in bright indirect light, with some morning rays touching his leaves. I also add humidity every other day and he seems to be coming back. He’s grown very little, and no new leaves yet, but he’s gotten perkier. My other rescued burgundy rubber plant lost an entire stem, but he is now starting to sprout leaves.
