# I’m on a roll today. It must be the weekend 😆. I fell in love with…

_Posted by Green thumb novice on 2026-08-29_

I’m on a roll today. It must be the weekend 😆. I fell in love with this baby rubber plant the first time I saw it in early June. Today, it remains one of my favorite. It’s just soooo cute. I hope it stays a baby 🥰

Wow she was so inexpensive when you bought her. Where did you buy her? She is beautiful 😍💚

### Green thumb novice commented on 2026-08-29

It was at a big box store. Lowe’s or Home Depot. And yes, it was really inexpensive but it was pretty small but still great price

I’ve only bought two plants on clearance at Lowe’s and they had fungus gnats so bad 🤦🏻‍♀️ I will have to take my time looking next time. And look at younger plants. 🪴💚

If you want it to put it's energy in leaves, cut off the flower :)

#### Hayley replied on 2026-08-29

Unless I'm missing something, there's no flowers on this plant??

#### Green thumb novice replied on 2026-08-29

I was going to say the same… unless i too am missing something.

You can keep it small by trimming it when it gets too big, trimming the roots and putting it back in the same size pot, and leaving multiple stems in the same pot.

Ficus elastica are trees, so they definitely require some maintenance if you want them to stay small and short lol

#### Hayley replied on 2026-08-29

I'll leave this comment in case anyone has a ficus elastica, but yeah that's not this plant lmao

### Oli commented on 2026-08-29

The flowers look like this. They don't look like flowers, I know😭

Wow 😮😍

#### Hayley replied on 2026-08-29

Bahahahahahah omg probably would've helped if I had my glasses on- I saw rubber plant in the text and thought it was a ficus elastica 😭😭

### Green thumb novice commented on 2026-08-30

Ohhhh, I thought that was a new leaf and have been wondering when it was going to open. That is an interesting looking “flower” 😆
