It’s Plants 4 Me

What kind of support can I give my baby rubber plant. She is doing a lot of leaning with her rapid growth.

    Turn her a quarter to half every time you water and put a trellis or chop sticks in the pot and tie them to her stems, not to tight though...

    They are not a a trailing or vining plant but as they age will gently drape over the pot edge. They can be pruned. In the pic, the one on the right has been pruned many times and has provided many new plants. The left has never been pruned. Make sure they get enough light so they grow a strong trunk. When pruned they branch out.

      Look up trimming peperomia obtusifolia on google or YouTube. With YouTube it may show an actual demonstration.

      Thanks Nunyabzwx. I’ve had the one on the right for several years. It has always been a favorite because it was one of the starters for me getting into the hobby
