What happened to my rubber tree :(

This plant is kept near a north facing window gets indirect light during the day. It has had droopy leaves for a while... my mom has been watering it regularly but I'm not sure about her watering habits specifically. Is it being under watered/ over watered..? The leaves are yellowing and dropping and the new shooting needle also started to brown.. checked the roots last week and they looked fine to me. The soil mix from what I know drains well... dont know what to do... please suggest a solution

Dying house plant

I bought this plant a couple of months ago.It was doing fine until I overwatered it before going on holiday.I came back to a plant with mushy roots and so I repotted and removed the dead leaves/rotten bit.Now only one healthy-ish leaf remains.Can it be saved or should I let it go ???

I received this plant as a gift. When I got it, it only had a few leaves. Obviously I’m doing something right because it has absolutely grown out of control. Is it a jade plant? How to I trim this up without destroying future growth? Suggestions?

My zz plant is spreading out, is this normal growth or is it not receiving enough light?

I check when the soil is dry by sticking my finger in, trying to get pretty deep to check for wetness, and water when it is dry deeper down.

It has a 3 part mixture of perlite, orchid/pine bark, and cactus potting soil miracle grow.

The room stays between 60-75° F and the humidity is average for a bedroom, I think last I checked it measures between 40-60% depending on the time of day and day, on the lower end with my AC running now.

I tried to show how it is near a window that faces north, with an accompanying grow light. I was of the believe they thrive with less light, hence why it is so far from the grow light/window. I do rotate it, I check the soil moisture every other day or so, but don't usually have to water more than once a week if that. The pot has plenty drainage holes.

No pests. The plant leaves and stems all look and feel healthy, I just am unsure if the leaves are too sparse because it has too much or too little light, or if this is normal growth. I want to make sure if there's any issues I correct them before it gets super etoliated lol.

Finished.

Previous owner planted tulip tree. Is it too late to start pruning and training it into an actual tree instead of letting it bush out? I know right now is not the right time of year to prune, but is it still possible in the future/won't kill it?

I had a minor ant issue in my room recently so i took all my plants out to another room in the meantime of handling it . I put my orchids in a windowsill and left them there for less than a week . Went outside today and from the window i noticed the awful discoloration on the leaves . what happened and what can i do about it ? can they be saved ?

they were very healthy and i would like to think i take good care of them . I have had the one on the right for about 2 years now and the other for a few months .( I am aware i did cut the stem a little late on one it but aside that i have had no issues with either of them )
