Look at her! I have no clue how this happened, but it is still interesting and beautiful! I’m still in awe on how this could have happened!

    I love a wonky rubber tree leaf! Here’s my weird one that came out without a bottom on one side

    Special leaf! The two possibilities I know of are that it got stuck or damaged while in the leaf sheath. Or that it’s a genetic blip. It’s somewhat common for the genes for variegation to also influence the genes responsible for leaf shape. Like if you’ve ever seen pictures of a “mint” monstera adansonnii, the shape and texture looks distorted compared to a regular adansonii or even an albo. So from what I understand, plants that are being commercially selected for new and more intense variegation often also have atypical leaf development. If you’re obsessively curious like me lol, some other examples are monstera deliciosa “devil monster” and “white lava.” So rubber trees are very common and very stable plants in comparison, but they may still have a blip every now and then
