Making Rubber Plant Bushy By Pruning and Notching

- 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..

Thank you! I don’t know why it was so hard to find such a good, clear example of both pruning and notching but I’m so thankful I found yours!!
Thanks. Welcome.
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!!
Thanks. Notch at 3,4 places, new branches will emerge at at least 1,2 points.
Beautiful job, and so concise, clear, straightforward and successful! You have a great channel! Thank you! 💖🌱🌿💖
You are welcome.
Thankyou for sharing your tips on how to make this beautiful plant bushier. Easy to understand each and every detail. Very appreciated. 🪴😊 Kindest Thanks 😊
Thanks.🙏🙏
thank you ❤️i was nervous about pruning, it's my first rubber plant. I'll try notching now 💚
Good luck.
Great, I will make my rubber plant bushy by pruning and notching as shown in the video.
Thank you.
Amazing tutorial! Thank you 😊
You are welcome.
This is a very helpful, I feel more confident now to prune my rubber plant now, especially seeing where the new leaves grow - it wasn’t how I imagined and the knowledge from this video will help me do better. I look forward to seeing my results. Thank you!
Good luck. The new growth will emerge in the growing season.
@@GardenTricks thank you!
@@sarahemily1 Welcome.
I will try it .Thanks for sharing
You are welcome.
Thank you~
You are welcome.
Good inputs
Thanks
you literally just saved my plant. i was about to prune it but now i’m gonna notch it
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.
Can you help me with my black prince rubber tree, two leaves are dead...
@@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.
nice
Thanks.
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.
@@GardenTricksThank you so much. I'm so encouraged and excited. Making new rubber plants I can give to family members!
I have subscribed 🌿 and I'm looking forward to learning about plants from you. This is going to be so much Fun!🌿

@@judysmith3249 I will be happy to share my experience with you at any stage. You may try to propagate in next Spring to Summer

@@GardenTricks thank you 🌿🦋
Notching! I needed that in my life, now I know!
Thank you!
Thanks. Best of luck.
Awesome tutorial!! Clearly shows you what to do! And the difference between pruning and notching. Liked, subscribed notifications on! Thank you so much!! Can't wait to get started on my single branch rubber plant🌱🌱🌱🌱😊!
Thanks, you are welcome.
@@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.
@@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
@@noth9617 I did all at the same time, as I did not know which notch will work. Good luck.
💚
👍👍👍👍
Thanks, you are welcome.
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 😅
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.
This is exactly what I need to do to fix my leggy leafless rubber tree. Btw can I use this to make my fiddle leaf branching
Yes, I think it should work for Fiddle leaf also. Good luck.
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?
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

May I know where exactly I need to notch, above the note?
Just above a node.
if you have an extremely long and leggy plant can you prune and notch?
Yes, you can prune a long leggy rubber plant and make new plants. The following video may help
th-cam.com/video/8Tryph-pAsk/w-d-xo.html
@@GardenTricks thanks for the reply! I watched the video and will prune and notch soon.
the plant is in a very large pot ~3 gallons. If the propagation is successful can I add the new plants to the same large pot?
Hi, I'm curious. Will it still grow vertically after pruning the top node?
Yes 2,3 new branches will emerge from a node, that will grow vertically.
@@GardenTricks how long will it take to grow new branches?
@@DeborahRose2885 In a few weeks in growing season.
Is it okay if I prune now?
You can prune at any time but the new growth will emerge only in growing season.
Thank you so much. I will wait for spring then
