I've had this Rubber Plant for over 3 1/2 years, maybe more. It started as a small plant that I bought in a nursery. It only wants to grow up, lose it's leaves on the bottom, only produce small leaves, etc. I grew one years ago which thrived. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing wrong! I'd like to see it branch out, and get larger leaves.

What could I do to make this plant more attractive?
