Here is another houseplant ‘how to’ video for all of you plant lovers and new plant moms and plant dads out there. In this video we are going to be repotting my Ficus Elastica Tineke and Burgundy. They are also known as the Rubber Tree or Rubber Plant.
Ficus Elastica are one of my favourite types of houseplants. They have some of the most beautiful foliage and they are pretty easy to care for even for beginners who has a lot of bright light in their homes.
I’ll also show you guys how to successfully propagate your Rubber Plant from cuttings. Propagation is a great and cost-effective way to make a new plant to give to your friends or family.
I hope you enjoy this video.

I didn’t realize how beautiful that plant is. We have that tree here in my home and has been a tree since I was born. Now its drying and dying.. :( People are cutting it without our permission and making a profit out of it. Now I’m determined to save our tree... its been in our home for like 3 generations thats why its really big.. and its rare in our place no wonder people come to our home just to cut its branches.. I used to play with its leaves and write on it when I was a child... I didn’t really see how beautiful it is until it is slightly dying... but I know there is still hope. Thank you for this video I am very motivated.

@mimosveta 3 жыл бұрын

if it's tree generations old, it's probably dying due to old age. if you want to save it, you should probably take cuttings like everyone else, and propagate it. after all, those are genetically identical to the original tree so that is "saving it"

Thanks for all the info! Just started my porch container garden about five months ago. Love my Ruby and Burgundy, and they've nearly tripled in size. So I was curious if they were ready to graduate from 6" to some 8" pots. But I guess they can wait til next spring then. Have a cute Tineke too, but she's the latest addition and quite small compared to her older sisters.

I was able to get a cutting of this plant yesterday (101523) and i'm just so excited to propagate hopefully several or at least one to survive so that I can have my very own ficus elastica burgundy. One of my neighbors have this tall lush tree in their front garden and I've been admiring it every time I pass by. Since then I've been longing to have this plant and I got one from our Church. Looking forward to grow this and will follow everything you said. Thank you so much. I was following Drunken Homemaker and she referred you in that video so I checked yours out...I am now confident where to cut. I was just planning to plant the entire stem cutting with 6 leaves in it in one go at first. But based on both your videos having a much shorter cuttings would have a higher success rate.

Thank you for putting this information together! I just finished my own little experiment with three rubber tree (purple one)leaves. I put two leaves in a clear jar with water to propagate. The third leaf I put in a white plastic cup from a restaurant. The clear was barely showing anything. The plastic cup had two inch root on the leaf. I potted that one. The two left I kept one in clear and the other back in that white cup. One week later there was no roots in clear jar and about an inch of roots on the leaf in white cup. Perhaps clear glass is not the way to go for rooting up leaves. Perhaps they would eventually root but maybe the roots don't like all the light coming through. Maybe you could do a official rooting experiment. I just love plants and flowers! I find all of creation just an amazing gift from God our Creator!
