Lowes will often have them. I think I've seen them a couple of feet tall or more.

May the force be with you

Well I've got

'High Hopes'

that you will find one

If you don't get that, then I am showing my age

Sorry, I just think of that song whenever I hear rubber tree plant

But seriously, they are really cool plants, I'd like to run across one too.

I got mine at a greenhouse next to a funeral home. I've seen them in EVERY greenhouse i've been to at one point or another, so i don't think you'll have a hard time finding one they like lotsa light, but they can survive in pretty low light. They'll just be a little "floppier" and viny if they don't get as much light.

But ya, you can get itty bitty ones in 3" pots. Most of the ones i've seen come 3 per pot though. So what i did was i bought a small one in an 8" pot where each of them were about 6" tall. Then i separated them in a dish of water. Then a few months later it recovered and started putting out leaves ^.^ I immediately put mine in a GIANT 16" p ot when i planted it though. You can see it in my webshots if ya want Those pictures are pretty out of date now though. It has about 7 or 8 new leaves on it right noww ^.^ As soon as i got it into a window that faces the sunrise, it thickened right up from a pencle to a marker size!

Hope my rambeling helps good luck!

You may have better luck with a flytrap than i do >.o i've had about 4 or 5 so far, and they've all died one way or another. I figured out that you're not supposed to pull the dead leaves off, but just clip the ends where they're black, and that got me my first one from a cutting! but then a worm ate it! GRRRRR! I was looking at it one day, and it was a lil bitty cute flytrap just growing there, and the next day it was gone... so i picked it up and there was this little tiny yellow worm eating it! NOOOOOOOO! so ya, i threw that one out before it got to any of my other carnivorous plants lol.

I have a nepanthes bicalcarata if you wana see that sometime! I still gotta take a picture of its new pitchers lol

In the Spring Walmart usually has rubber tree plants. They always have smaller size 'trees'. I haven't been out to mine for a few weeks, but they may already be getting them in.

We bought a palm tree at Walmart one year. We paid $6.99 for it. It was just a small bush, maybe two, or three, feet high. Now it is at least 6 feet high at its highest point. It's been fun watching it grow.
