Someone was getting rid of this because they can’t look after it. I have repotted it, gave it water and plant food. Are there any other suggestions for this

Poor thing. Thank you for trying to save him. Looks like he’s getting good sunlight, too. I hope he will thrive now.

I would leave it in there for 3 months then chop the leafy part back and regrow haha

Once you think it’s healthy, I saw a YouTube video yesterday by Kill This Plant called “The weirdest way to get your rubber tree to branch” where he shows multiple techniques to get lower branches on an already tall tree, I thought it was really informative and interesting.

It looks very dehydrated, so giving it 20 minute soaks (as long as it fully drains after) for your watering sessions can help it recover
