Ficus Elastica

I bought this for 5$ from Home Depot in the winter of ‘24. It is a slow grower, but it is consistent and has gone from real small to medium while only losing one leaf. If you don’t consistently rotate this guy, he will grow off in one direction.

    Rotated picture of my Ficus in Feb of 2024. There are only 5 leaves
    This is a photo of the first leaves that it made after I bought it. One of those original leaves has since been lost. I can’t figure out how to rotate this picture.
