in regularly and the stalks were growing, too.

When I brought the plant back in for the winter, I began watering it
myself based on what had been suggested here. I tried giving it a
little more than a cup a day, and was making sure that the soil was
staying moist (but not wet) about 4" beneath the surface of the soil.
The plant is directly in front of a south-facing window.

But since the day I brought it in, there hasn't been any new growth at
all. In fact, recently a few of the smaller leaves fell off.

it is still too much water. I water my rubber plant every three weeks
or so (it is in a big vase, 5 gallons at least). You are right that it
does well outside. it is immune to sunburning (I place it where it
gets sun from 11am until 3pm), and likes the extra light.
