This was my first plant baby. She has grown so much. However is only growing taller and it’s starting to lean. I put some support sticks in. Will this plant grow wider instead of taller? If so any advice on how to do that?

Rubber Plants aren’t really the type of plant to grow wider at such a young age. I think you did the right thing by putting a stake in so it’s straight as it matures and the stem grows stronger.
