This started rapidly losing leaves but growing new braches from the base at the same time. So thankfully even tho it lost all original leaves it filling out nicely. #rubbertree #newleaves

This was doing amazing then it started to get all types of new stems from the base and then it began losing new leaves three big ones at the top. I got scared thinking lack of light and lack of water since I barely water it so I moved it outside and it lost even more. Now basically it's a couple leaves an the new stems with leaves. Is that ok? #rubbertree #rubberplant #planthelp

She dropped 2 leaves yesterday I think it may have been the cold draft because its dry and not overwatered. Why else could that happen? #planthelp #plantquestion #plantmedic #leafdrop

I feel its dry alot even tho I water it more probably than my other rubber trees. It just always looks good. No brown spots or drooping. Maybe I will try to water more consistently @ultrav0x

So im guessing these will be new stems not just leaves. @savannahssucculentgarden I never saw this before but they sure are beautiful #rubbertree #newgrowth

I had no idea they could do that. It definitely looks like new leaves coming from the base. Very interesting! I can't find anything online about it.

At the base of my huge #rubbertree its growing leaves but how is that possible when they grow from the top out of the sheaths? Im so confused. Everything I read says it can't replace leaves at the bottom.? #planthelp #plantquestion

What do the other leaves look like? Are the different or do they look the same?

I'll post it and show u. Basically just looks like a dark green rubber tree. But I'll tag u when I get home.in a few @savannahssucculentgarden I just dont get it because rubber tree leaves grow from the top unless these will be new branches. Idk
