I purchased this large, lovely variegated rubber tree about two and half weeks ago and I noticed this week some of the leaves are turning brown at the edges. I am in LA and we did just have an crazy heat wave (100+ for a couple days in the row) and we don't have AC. I have moved it closer to the window thinking it was not get enough light. I am a little unclear about the amount of water it needs, as the browning starting right after I thoroughly soaked it (and maybe let the extra water sit a bit too long as I thought with the heat it would evaporate quickly). I also spritzed the leaves with water because I read that was good...

Please help. I am new to such big house plants, as my longtime NYC apartment didn't have light for anything more than African violets.

Thanks!!
