I like rubber plants. I had a nice one that lasted about 20+ years. However finally that one started to weaken and eventually die. I’ve been thinking of replacing it for a few months.

Lo and behold I saw this rubber plant at Trader Joe’s yesterday. It looked really healthy to me. Very robust with new growth on the way.

So I decided it was time to replace my late rubber plant I had for so long and missed.

TJ’s had nice healthy looking rubber plants for $11.99. I was not dirt cheap but elsewhere I would see comparable rubber plants for at least $20 if not more, so I decided to take it home.

These make good houseplants that are easy to take care of and don’t even need a ton of light, so are a good choice for many.

HOW TO CARE for a rubber plant aka ficus elastica

A few weeks later…. new growth, doing well!

For Easter. My neighbor saw and got this nice wooden planter box full of daffodils at Trader Joe’s last week. They were about $12 and look really healthy. They may not be in stock for long, still I just thought I’d show them in case you are lucky and see them.
