We accidentally left hot water running into the pot of a 4 foot tall rubber tree. When we realized what happened, we drained off as much water as possible, packed the soggy soil around the roots with ice cubes, and then repotted it in dry cool soil. Will it survive, or have we killed it? What can we do to save it? Thank you.
If the hot water wasn't over 120 degrees F, and it mostly just touched the soil, it probably didn't hurt it, but the ice cubes may have sent it into shock.
Boiling water will definitely kill a plant, but surely your tap water isn't boiling. All you can do now is wait and hope the water wasn't too hot and the ice wasn't too cold.
Continue to offer optimum care. If a leaf was scorched, go ahead and remove it.

I inherited this plant from my sister. It may need to be separated? A bigger pot? Take outside? IDK?
I would not remove the baby. Reasons for yellow leaves include over or under watering, getting readjusted after location change, and being potbound.

Hello, I purchased a small rubber plant a couple of years ago. There were 6 trunks on the plant and I propagated it after more than a year of growth. One plant with 3 trunks and 3 singles. I don’t know why they all lean and would like to correct that if this is not normal. I recently tied a string around the 3 trunk plant not knowing if that was proper. Is there something I could do.
I would check overwatering as one problem. Also are the pots deep enough for root growth? Do you turn them a quarter turn each week to get light on all sides. They may be reaching for more light. It is fine to stake them. This is a good article that discusses the light/water balance they need:

Hey, when is it time to repot this one?
Yes, it could be repotted. It has circling roots as well as roots coming through the top. Here is how:

I just need to know when is the dormant season for my indoor Rubber a tree plant so I can water it accordingly
Watering should remain consistent throughout the year. There will be no, true, dormancy. It may slow down during the winter, but watering will always be on an "as needed" basis. You should always check before watering to ensure that you do not water when not necessary. Make sure that the soil dries down, completely, to about 3 to 5 inches. The watering times will vary based on the climate at the time. You can test with a meter to be sure. This article will help:

recently got a rubber plant and have been keeping it indoors. Today morning, I noticed one of the leaf with a lit of black spots, the remaining leaves seem to be doing fine at the moment. What could be the reason of this one turning black brown? The plant has been kept in indirect sunlight
These are very susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections. This can indicate that soil remains too wet for too long without an adequate period to dry out down to 2 inches or so.
From here, you will need to use a fungicide, and watch your watering. These articles will help:
