RUBBER PLANT SOS

I’m after some help with what to do with this plant! I’m about to repot in a pot with drainage holes. It’s tall and unsupported it’s also looking bald at the bottom. Is it in need of a good chop and propagate?

Do the tops of these plants get anymore light throughout the day? If not I recommend a tall grow light,  
I have this one and my plants love it

They are easy to propagate but if you do a dramatic chop the original plant will take a while to grow back but it will!

Yes it gets plenty of light through out the day, I’m thinking chop the top because it’s very unstable?

I would definitely chop the top it will develop new growth points and be fuller in the end
