My friend has this rubber tree that touches her ceiling. And I LOVE it!!! I don’t want to buy on already that big but I don’t want to get a small one. I tried looking it up on the net and no luck. Where can I buy this plant at? And do you know if they are hard to care for?

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 You can see it in my webshots if ya want Those pictures are pretty out of date now though.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!

Thanks everyone, I will have to stop by one of those stores and get a rubber plant. My boyfriend offered to buy my friends rubber plant that touches her ceiling but she wouldn’t come off of it! haha It was worth a shot. I just love plants, my ex boyfriend used to say that I brought home plants was like bringing home stray dogs. haha I got one big palm from my work and it is huge, but nobody was caring for it here at my work so I rescued it and now it is beautiful! It even buds big white flowers.
Nako you have tons of plants!! They are ALL so beautiful!!! I can’t wait until I have that many. I really like the Alocasia plant and the Spider plant. I would like to have those I have never heard of either one though.
Is a Venus flytrap hard to care for? They are so interesting I kind of want one but I know nothing about them.

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.
