need rubber tree plant help

I hope you can help me--I have a new rubber tree plant (bought it from someone in the neighborhood who was moving). It was vigorous and healthy when I brought it home a week ago, but in the past few days it has started dropping leaves on the bottom and the bottom half of the tree has leaves that are curling all about the edges.

It is next to a southern exposure window, ambient temperature is probably about 70 indoors (I live in Brooklyn), and have only watered it once (about two cups of water since the top inches of soil felt like they were getting a bit on the dry side). I am fairly certain that it is in a pot of the correct size for it.

I have also been misting it daily since I read they are most at home in humid temperatures and I know that it is dry in my apartment.

Thanks for any help you can give!
