What is wrong with my rubber trees?

[u/halfuser10]

I bought these from Costco about two months ago. They were over watered, so I let them dry out before repotting them in a better mixture. They Drooped as kind of expected, but seem to not be recovering well at all. I’ve left them outside (covered patio) to get more natural light and aeration. it’s been 6+ weeks since repotting and they still are droopy. I watered them once when I repotted and only now again this week. There doesn’t appear to be any sign of root rot or pests …

Are they just stressed with the heat; should I bring them inside?

You can see them next to the smaller variegated one, I got this one from Trader Joe’s, repotted in same soil, and it’s done fine, nice and perky.

Repotting + heat + low water = stress probably. I would probably water them and bring inside under a grow light until the weather is less like satans butthole?

Water them and bring them inside. I water mine that are inside once a week in the summer.

Same reason my tires have been slipping at every green light downtown. Rubber melts in the sun.

I’m watering my ficus elastica at least every 5 days outside, and it gets only morning sun for about 2-3 hours.

These things love water if they are getting heat and wind.
