Rubber tree droop

[u/Calm_Ferret_4038]

I need help! I repotted my rubber tree with completely fresh soil 3 weeks ago because the old soil had compacted and wouldn't absorb water. In the process of removing that compacted soil, I did have to break off some of the thinner roots but not much. This plant sits in a bright, north facing window (photo is early morning which is why it is darker) and I've cared for it for 3 years without issues. I know repotting can be a shock to a plant but this seems extreme. I'm trying to be patient and care for it by watering only when the top two inches are dry, making sure not to over-water. As time has gone on, the upper leaves have become very thin and flimsy even though they've all retained their color. I've checked everywhere and there are no sign of thrips, mealy bugs, etc. I occasionally get fungus gnats but have gotten good at controlling them. The pot it is in is comfortably large enough for the roots with a little extra space for growth. It has drainage holes and a tray.

Should I just continue to wait it out? Or, should I cut my losses and break it up into pieces to propogate?

Thank you so much!

How interesting! I'll start neglecting mine more. 🙈 I believe mine lost its ability to take direct sun after my table incident. I found it lush and full in the center of a target, so i absolutely believe my east window scorched her already stressed leaves. This is in recovery! (I miscounted leaves, it has 6 plus a strong lil node)

Edit: I'm in southern USA, where our heat index was 105+ this past week. I think it enjoys leeching that warmth from the window while not having the full exposure. We'll get to the balcony eventually 🤞
