Default Poorly Rubber Plan

'Ronald',

It appears that your plant is placed near a radiator (now summer, of
course) and rubber plants are very adverse to dry hot conditions, hence
the scorching of the leaves's edges.

I cannot see whether or not the pot is resting in a bowl or similar to
facilitate good drainage and that is a very important point.

Otherwise you have a healthy, compact plant.

You don't show the uppermost part of the plant or describe its

general
condition and height so that a proper assessment can be made of its
chances.

A new leaf keeps trying to grow on top then dies then tries to regrow.
