Hard pruning is hard not that much for the plant but for the person. Many of us, are really fearful to prune that much but it's worthy, if we have proper information.

You are so right, mine is so big now that it can't stand by itself anymore. I need to cut it now, but that video gives me courage to do so.

@worldgonemad1977 2 жыл бұрын

I chopped mine leaving only 2 leaf nodes at the bottom😱 Now I have 8 cuttings on the go in pots, the leader in a glass of water and I’m delighted to say that there are 2 new leaves sprouting from the original cut. Hopefully I will have a rubber tree plantation in a few months👍🏻 Thanks for the demo!

I recently did this to a very old leggy rubber plant I have. I tried to propagate the stems in water to no joy, but the two stems that I planted straight in soil rooted within two weeks. I now have loads of new growth on each stem along the various leaf nodes and it looks better than ever 😀

What I do to keep my rubber trees keep growing straight up, is to keep rotating the pot every week. Plants grows towards the light, so by rotating the pot I automatically ask the plant to grow towards the other side in a natural way. This way it grows a strong stem. All my rubber trees are straight, high, have strong stems and grow faster this way. I also do this with some of my other indoor plants, but always with all my seedlings for my vegetable and fruit garden or kitchen garden if you will.

I have read in the past that you actually cannot root cuttings from a rubber tree. That you have to actually make slits, just below leaf nodes, and use some sphagnum Moss to put in the cut and close it up with Saran Wrap to root inside that, and then you can cut it off. I may try this, when i get ready to move the giant thing out, this spring!

I thought it might be a bit too woody further down to get a good new stem. Probably could have gone a bit lower on reflection. Let me know how you get on

if a rubber tree which is planted in ground (in zones 10-12) is wonky, is there any way to make the main trunk more firm? It's only 1.5 ft tall, and my goal is to make it very bushy from 2ft off the ground up to about 8-10ft high. Do you have any suggestions that I should do to to achieve this goal?
