Should my rubber plant be moved to a bigger pot? Hes starting to lean so I’m thinking he needs a new home. If so, about how big a pot should I get?

as best you can , pick up the plant and check out the roots. If they’re tightly wound they’re ready to go to a new pot. If not I’d get some supports for him

It’s leaning bc it’s searching for sunlight/leaning towards the light.

You could rotate it every so often so it grows even. It’s what I do with some of my succulents. Or get a grow light to put above it.

i don’t think it’s ready just yet unless the roots are growing out of the drainage or really root bound.

They don’t like to have too much extra room in a pot. I’d leave it unless it’s super root bound
