Know how to make a rubber plant bushy and dense by pruning and notching to force the tree to grow a branch. Many times the rubber tree grows straight up with no side shoots, then you can make such rubber trees bushy and force side shoots by proper pruning and notching, which will branch out and encourage new leaves and force side shoots. Also it will fix a leggy and stalky rubber tree plant as I have done in Australia..

Wow! All of the places where I've looked for advice on how to fix my leggy plant said it was pretty much impossible once a branch was hardened and the leaves have fallen, thank you!!! I'm going to try notching!!

I'm so excited to find you. My mother went to heaven Dec 2020. I have her Rubber plant. It is leggy and very tall and falls over. At the base the stems curve over. There are several. I think because they grew toward the sunlight. I'm going to try to do as you showed. I know you are very busy but if you could give me anymore advice I would be very thankful. I'm learning about plants now because I have my mother's. 🌿

You can certainly make your mother's rubber tree bushy and denser. also you can make many new rubber plants. Please look this for rubber plant propagation methods. You can try growing rubber cuttings and by air layering method easily, try all the methods shown in the video. You can ask me for any doubt or further details on the methods.

@GardenTricks 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, you liked it. I learnt this method after cutting my 2 other plants. BUT if you cut a rubber plant, then it will grow 2-3 new branches, and you can also regrow the cut stems into 2-3 new rubber plants.

@@marilynlarson7332 It may be due to under watering or over watering. If the leaves from bottom have dropped, then it was due to water not reaching to all the roots, especially to the roots at bottom.

@@GardenTricks thank you so much, your video gives me hope. I have a rubber plant that is special because my sisters bought it for me for my 30th birthday 2 years ago. The leaves on the lower part have always been going brown around the edges. It’s in a wavy pattern and the leaves, although huge and strong, (as big as my hand on the lower parts) if I trim off all leaves with browning the whole plant would just be a massive stick. The plant is now chest height and always has a new leaf emerging. There’s a new leaf every 2 inches all the way up. The bottom of the plant is old, strong trunk. I have hope now that if I do some notching lower down new branches will come and assist the plant in being more camouflaged. I wonder if there is an email I could send some photos to, to ask your advice on the best places to be pruning and notching for my particular plant? I have 51 house plants now and various jars of propagated English ivy and pathos around, but this was my very first plant and is sentimental I don’t want to ruin it. Any advice is very appreciated. 🙏

@@noth9617 As your plant is quite tall, you can notch at 4, 5 places so that new new branches may emerge at least one or two places, it will take a few months.. You can notch below or above leaf joints. If notching do not work, then you may cut the growing end, that will definitely force new branches at the top and may be at a few places along the trunk.

@noth9617 2 жыл бұрын

@@GardenTricks thank you. Would you notch one area at a time so the plant doesn’t put the energy over so many areas at once, or will it be ok? I still don’t know why leaves are browning. Everything I read says overwatering but over winter I hardly watered at all, and now that it’s hotter it gets a cup of water once every few weeks

Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong? I pruned the top of my rubber plant just above a node as in your video, but it took aaages where nothing happened and then finally a single, vertical branch emerged and now (after some time) it looks just like before basically 😅

@GardenTricks 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry for that, it happens some time that at the cut point only one branch emerge but more branches may grow at other nodes below. The time depends on the time of cut, and the thickness of branch, new growth appearances quickly during plant growing season.

@AW-uv3cb 2 жыл бұрын

I think I've left my rubber plant too long, I have a very tall one with just one leg. I've tried pruning it once on top and now it's still just kind of one leg with the top part going off to one side. Is it too late to prune or notch it so it branches out in the bottom part? Should I cut off the whole top to encourage it to branch out lower?

@GardenTricks 2 жыл бұрын

Pruning a stem of the rubber plant normally grows new 2 branches at the cut point. You may try notching. You may try cutting it further down and grow the cut stems into new plants. You may watch this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7iYks54z9rXpIE.html
