How can I properly trim a rubber plant to promote healthy growth and maintain its shape?

To properly trim a rubber plant for healthy growth and shape maintenance, use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Trim back any leggy or overgrown branches to encourage new growth. Make cuts at a 45-degree angle just above a leaf node. Avoid cutting off more than one-third of the plant at a time to prevent stress. Regularly dust the leaves and keep the plant in a well-lit area with consistent watering to promote overall health.
