I've had my rubber plant/tree for many years and it is always been big & healthy. Unfortunately it was set outside in my garage for a 24 hour period last week where it endured around 0 celsius / 32F degrees. Since then, the leaves have been going yellow/brown, drying out, and falling off. Is there anything I can do to save it? There are some green leaves (or partially green at least). Should I remove all dying leaves? Is there anything I can do to rejuvante it?

Thanks for any advice...

They don't much like cold drafts.i'd think if they dispair dips that are brief in 40s.it probaly screamed when that hit 0 [scaredy] you could remove the damaged leaves& make sure no drafts comeing up& see if it recovers.though was in a garage it was spared an outside elament.If the stem starts to wrinkle,,,its a gonner
