anyone have advice for my rubber plant? She’s been so droopy and has yet to have a new leaf despite having her for some months now. Her leaves has lost their thickness and she just seems sad.

Maybe think about upping her pot size! I brought one from a flower market had it a like 6 months and it only had one new leaf, lost her colour (she has like green and red I'll add a photo) I upped her pot size and turns out her old pot was just squishing her added fresh soils and now she's had 2 almost 3 new leaves since Jan!

I also trimmed a lot of her dead leaves off as they were browning / droopy. She looks a little skinny right now but she's on the mend

Ficus plants need a lot of light. I would move it to the brightest location possible or consider getting a grow light to supplement. I have my Burgundy and Moonshines outdoors in full sun.

I believe that they like humidity too. Maybe misting her would help.

Always check the roots\*  
I’d pot it up and give it a fresh chunky soil mix. Also it’s best to have the light source above the plant to encourage upward growth. Try setting it on the floor.

Try growing sticks to help her perk up
