The leaves are huge how do make the trunk thicker.

A thicker trunk can only happen with time. The trunk on one of my rubber trees has almost doubled in thickness now and has started turning into tree bark. These guys like a lot of light when indoors!

My next one will be the burgundy.

Good choice! That’s my favourite 🙂
