My Rubber tree/ Ficus elastica was too tall so I decided to try pruning it. I then propagated what I cut off. I was definitely scared that in doing so I would destroy it since I've never pruned or propagated it before. Watch to see how it goes!

Thanks! Great advice! We have /had a too tall 7-8’ rubber tree. It all started with 1 leave in a flower arrangement from my father in-laws funeral 6 years ago and has grown like a weed! Now it has 3 stalks 3-4’ tall! Propagating to give each sibling a plant to remember their Dad, a really Great man! Thanks for the info!

It's not exactly the same tree used for latex and rubber production. This is a Ficus Elastica native to Asia. The tree used to produce latex is called Hevea Brasiliensis, native to the Amazon.

Like noted by others, the milky sap is actually what the majority of rubber items used to be made of. They would put it in pans and then build fires and smoke it. Then take the sheets and put them into bales. It was called “crepe” rubber. When I first started in a giant tire factory in 1974 this is all we used. But then eventually we went to a rubber/synthetic oil blend. I used to load the batches of ingredients on a conveyor belt for processing. I would go home smelling like a forest fire every night! Lol

This is a fun way to get new trees. When using smaller cuttings it will take maybe a month to get enough roots, don't despair all will go well. I have a 9 foot tall one in front of my house from a 6 inch cutting about 10 years ago. have fun

G'day Erin. Thanks for your videos. I have bravely cut down my 9 foot tall ficus elastica and got loooooooooots of cuttings which I've had in glass jars and a plastic bath full of water for about a week and a half. They are all starting to grow roots which is exciting. Would you recommend changing the water now? I guess it can't hurt. And Ruby my original plant is going crazy! Lots of new growth and leaves. Thanks again. Steve

I have a tree that is touching my ceiling now that I plan to prune. We have had to move a lot the past year and it unfortunately lost most of it's lower leaves. My question is, can I prune closer to the bottom and hope it all comes back or do I need to make sure I prune where there are ledges leaves? If any of that makes sense

Oooh wee I’m soo wish it would just do it’s thing so I don’t mess her up. But Atleast I can propagate and start fresh…which would be sad. Thanks for the video.
