Planta is saying this is a baby rubber plant. Is that true? The picture it showed looked a little different than this!

It is a variegated rubber plant. I have the same plant.

#### Liz replied on 2024-02-17

Oh that’s good to know! Would you advise I repot it??

### Jenny K commented on 2024-02-17

They can take being in small pots. If you just brought to home I’d wait to repot until it’s had a chance to acclimate to its new environment.

Here’s mine. About 2 1/2 feet tall in a 6” pot.

That’s cool!! I’ve never seen one grow tall like that!

#### Jenny K replied on 2024-02-17

Mine probably doesn’t get enough light so it’s growing upwards. I have it staked.

i love the way it’s grown!

#### Gigglzngreenz replied on 2024-02-19

No, I think that’s how it’s supposed to be grown! That’s why it’s called baby rubber tree. It looks just like my Tineke, only miniature. It’s very cute!
