Mom’s rubber tree was too big and tall for her to care for. We chopped it up and I kept one of the new plants. It hasn’t hit spring yet but during the winter, this thing has been living!

I had no idea they could get this tall!

This thing is 10 or 11 years old so it takes time 😂

During summer, a person in my neighborhood puts their huge rubber tree outside on their front porch. It is around the same size as your mom’s one. I am super jealous because my rubber plant is tiny.
