I have done this and now I have 5 rubber plants 😇😇😇
Glad that you could propagate 5 rubber cuttings and now you have 5 rubber plants. Congrats.
Pl give me one 😁
@@rajbalaverma5698 but I am far away from you how can I give you
Woah! It actually worked? I wanna try it too ❤️
@@masofiaalberto yes it works 100% & this summer I'm going to propagate more rubber cuttings from my 1 plant
About to try this tomorrow... mine is currently 8ft tall and needs some serious TLC. This video has alleviated my worries!
Thank you! I have a rubber tree that's getting lots of new growth. I feel confident I can propagate it after watching this! ❤️
Good luck. You can apply aloe Vera pulp on the cuttings if you do not have rooting hormone. Also, I have found pure coarse sand or perlite works better as rooting medium because they do not have bacteria and microbes, so no chances of cutting rot.
@@GardenTricks you mean course sand or buhangin ?
Thanks. I was able to propagate 3 rubber plants as suggested by you.
You are welcome.
Thank you so much fir this video -- my rubber plant has been sealed in a bag for two weeks and I just opened it to spray it with water... I don't see a new growth yet but the plant still looks like it's alive. Should I keep the bag sealed until I see new growth, or what should I do at this point now that it's been two weeks? THANK YOU!
It may take 4 to 8 weeks before you see any new growth. It depends on the temperature, cutting size hidity etc. Continue the bag sealed.
@@GardenTricks Thank you so much!!
@@iNick89 You are welcome.
I have had luck simply cutting a piece off and plunking it in soil. On my original plant one of the branches is almost 7 ft tall, a good 2.5 ft taller than the others. I am tempted to do the same but am not sure if cutting 2 ft off and plunking it in soil will work.
@@bc5001 2 ft long may not root or will take very long to root and in the process the cutting may rot. You may cut into 3 cuttings, each 8 inches long and try.
@@GardenTricks Thank you. I will let you know how it goes in about 3-6 months.
@@bc5001 Good luck.
Great Video 🌱 we've done this, and propagated 3 Rubber Trees. We cut at an angle and used Root Hormone at stem, then water slightly first week.
Be patient. It may take several weeks or months before you see the new growth.
where can we get that root hormone?
@@estrellaespineli5720 you can find at home improvement stores in garden section. It is amazing for propagating plants. You'll love it
Hi! Can I use cinnamon instead root hormone thanks
@@elsayao7043 Yes. Cinnamon is great source of organic root hormon. Also honey.
Thank you for sharing this video.new Subcriber watching your blog.
Thanks for subbing! I have also Sub you.
Hello great video. Is it possible to grow a new plant from a leaf alone, if so how could this be done? Also is it ok to use perlite to airate the soil? Tnkq so much. 😊🍃🌿
Yes you can use perlite in place of sand. A leaf alone will grow strong leaves, but you will never get a new plant unless the leaf is attached to a node. Look here
th-cam.com/video/gdNg0ZLJKX0/w-d-xo.html
I have had my cutting in the bag for 3-4 weeks. I do not see new growth but the cut leaves are still healthy. Should I remove the bag? Should I pull up the plant to check for roots? Keep in the same put and just water? Thank you
Keep the bag closed. The new roots and leaves may take 2-3 months to grow, depending on the temperature. The cuttings will definitely root in time unless they are over watered.
@@GardenTricks Can I open bag to water? How often would this need to be done in a 70 degree house?
@@thevapecast2170 Open the bag every 10 days and give a few drop and then seal the bag again.
Thanks so much! I loved this video!
You are welcome.
I tired this and it worked! I did not even have to cut the leaves in half as is shown in the video.
Good to know that you could propagate the rubber plant from a cutting.
ماشاالله
Thanks alot for preparing this lovely video .iwish you always be happy.
So nice of you
Will start propagating rubber plant today. Planning to make my own tires in the future
Best luck. Take a cutting from the growing branch with top bud, it may root without rooting hormone. You may like to look here
th-cam.com/video/8Tryph-pAsk/w-d-xo.html
great! i hope this would work on my rubber plant cuttings! Thank you for sharing ☺
I hope your cuttings will root. Try in Spring to mid summer. If you take cuttings in winter, then the new growth will emerge only in Spring/Summer.
Do morning sunlight is okay for them? The once im propagating and put in plastic?
No sun at any time for the cuttings. Rubber plant is an indoor plant.
I Had Planted 3 Cuttings of Rubber Tree and also left two leaf on that cutted in half.. but after 1 week leaf are getting dried and falling.. I don't know whether they'll propogate or not please tell me what should I do..
The cutting may root if the stem is not dried. Continue the cutting in the bag and mist after every 10 days.
Hello sir I just watched your video a while a go...I have cuttings of rubber plant and I need to follow your process hope I can do it right...what to do with the honey ?
If you do not have rooting hormone, then appply some honey at the cut end of the rubber cutting and plant. Good luck.
The chances of success are better if you plant the cuttings in spring to summer. If you plant in winter, the cuttings will root only when it becomes warm. You can place the pot indoors, away from hot ac air.
Kelangan bang ilagay sa plastic ang bagong tanim na rubber? at di cya didiligan ? talagang no watering it for how long?
Kapag ang bagong dahon ay lumaki na, maaari mong alisin ang palayok mula sa bag. Ilagay ang palayok sa lilim palagi dahil ito ay isang panloob na halaman. Mas mababa ang tubig, maaaring isang beses sa isang linggo. Kapag ang pagputol ay nasa bag, tubig lamang kapag binhi mo ang tuktok na lupa ay tuyo, isang beses sa 2 linggo.
Once the new leaf is grown, you can remove the pot from the bag. Place the pot in shade always as it is an indoor plant. Water less, may be once a week. When the cutting is in the bag, water only when you seed the top soil is dry, once in 2 weeks.
I propagated my rubber plant last week, sealed the bag and used very draining soil, the only thing I didn't do was to cut the leaves in half. Check in after a week: 3 new tiny green growths coming out from 3 branches, leaves however are super droopy so I cut them in half as I only see the vid now. What else can I do to make sure the propagation will be well? Thanks.
Donot open the bag as there are no roots or very little roots. Continue in the bag for next 4 weeks, with a few drops of wster every week. Then open the bag and keep the pot in shade for another 4 weeks. By that time, the cuttings should have developed good roots.
I never had that rubber plant. I look forward to get a rubber plant soon in the future when i move...😊
Meron po akong tinda na cuttings or mismong plant na
@@DREAMER-bk7xt magkano buhay n un ?
Unfortunately I just found your video after I planted two cuttings. Based off of another’s information, I dipped the stems in cinnamon as a root stimulant, placed them in damp potting soil, wrapped them in plastic, but did not cut the leaves. I don’t know if I should disturb them, but I’m worried this method won’t be successful. Should I remove the plastic and cut the leaves? Thank you.
You need not to cut now, if it is only one leaf. If more, then open the pot and remove others. Do not worry, the cutting will root, however, it may take 2 to 4 months depending on the cutting thickness and temperature. Keep the pot in shade at a warm place and water less, over watering will rot the cutting. Best of luck.
Thank you very much for your quick response. Have a great day.
I started this 2 weeks ago and you responded to my question, (I followed someone else’s advice before finding your video) and my stems are turning brown. Is this normal? Thank you.
It may be a sign of too much water in soil or soil is not free draining. Watch for 2 weeks. Good luck.
Hi....I have bought rubber plant from nursary...they gave me one having quite long stem n few leaves on the top....uptil now no growth...at all I pruned one leaf also b4 two weeks...but of no use...what shall I do???I asked many on comment box but no suggestion from any one....shall I prapogate from cutting from upper part???pl reply soonnnnnn
By cutting leaf will ot do any thing. You can cut the top 6-8 inch long stem and propagate it. Also 2-3 new branches will grow at the cut.Before doing anything, you may like to watch this
th-cam.com/video/8Tryph-pAsk/w-d-xo.html
Hi! The leaves of my rubber plant are falling off so I decided to cut the upper parts of the stem and propagate. The stem cutting I have has one large leaf (about 7 inches long) branched onto it. Do I cut that leaf or do I just leave it in the stem cutting? Thank you!
You may cut this leaf into half.
Do you ever have problems with mold? I had my bag sealed and mold started growing within 2-3 days. I sprayed with neem oil to kill the fungus and now I am leaving the bag open but making sure to keep the soil moist. Any tips on how to avoid the moldy situation?
John Dennery Next tome, you try by taking only the river sand in the pot. If you are leeping the bag opened, then you must mist the leaves and soil.
Also just an FYI cinnamon can be used as a natural antifungal/mold resistant on any new plant or tree starts
How often do u mist the plant with the bag open?
Thank you for sharing
You are welcome
How long does it take to remove the plants from the plastic bag? Thanks!!
Until the new leaf/roots have grown, generally more than a month.
@@GardenTricks thanks!
Very nice video.
You are welcome.
I have a few questions for you. Can i take cuttings and plant it even in rainy season? And since i don’t have a rooting hornone, what is the ratio of honey to water in the diluted honey mix? Also, is a plain plastic bag enough to cover the baby plant? Looking forward to your response. Great videoooo!
Yes, you can plant the cutting in rainy season. If you take a cutting from the growing top of the stem with a bud, then it will root even without the hormone. Take 1 teaspoon of honey in about 5 teaspoons water and dip the cutting. OR you can rub the gel from an aloe vera pulp on the cutting.OR dissolve 1 aspirin in some water and apply on the cutting.
Garden, Places, Health thank you so much! I’ll do this tomorrow morning. Woohoooo!
@@GardenTricks do you still have the cut the top leaves in half if the cutting is from the stem top with a bud?
can i follow the steps but without the rooting hormone? also im thinking of buying cuttings online...any tips on what kind of cutting i should buy? thanks for the great vid!
The cuttings can root without rooting hormone, I have rooted many. Can you really buy online, better get from your friend or neighbor. Get the top 6 inch portion of the growing stems, get 2-3. Please try only if it is rubber plant growing season in your area. Also instruct the seller to pack it such that they do not dry in transit
@@GardenTricks thanks for the reply! yes i can only buy because i don't have relative of neighbors who have it...plus it's very cheap so no big deal...i just want to try my luck for this beautiful plant. thanks for the tips! but why is it important to have it only in growing season?
@@leo-or4ef The plant will develop new roots quickly in the growing season. Otherwise, it will root in the next season, by which time cuttings may rot. I put some cuttings in winter and they grew only after 5 months.
@@GardenTricks ah i see...ok thanks for your help! i will try wish me luck!
@@leo-or4ef Good luck!
I dont have river sand. Is that a problem?
Can I use something else?
The aim of using river sand is to make the soil free draining. You can use perlite or horticultural grit or builders' sand instead.
@@GardenTricks Allright. Thank you!!
Sir half day m esey dhup dikhani h ya phir shade m hi open rakhe. Pl guide me.
Rubber plant ko kabhi bhi droop mein nahin raking hai, poori life mein. It is a indoor or shade plant.
I planted a leaf with about one inch of petiole (stalk) it was just an extra leaf that I didn’t want to throw away after pruning and replanting the main cutting. First, I placed them in water for a month, no progress. Then I decided to transfer the main cutting and the extra leaf with stalk into a pot of soil. after 2 months, I tried to test and pull it out of the pot thinking that it’s just dead now but the leaf with petiole grew a healthy amount of roots! It was just wishful thinking really. I was very surprised. Let’s see what it does next!
Good, but it will never grow a new stem and leaf.
Wow nice vidio
Thanks. You are welcome.
is it ok if i remove the leaves after planting the stem with the rooting hormones? I bought the cuttings already potted and the seller did not remove the leaves
Please confirm whether they are cuttings or plants. If cuttings, then how long are they and if they have an unopened bud at the top.
Whoa!!! Very helpful video for me. Thanks for sharing.
I did the same thing to you. I saw that you put it in a bag. Do I need to water them evem its inside the plastic bag? How many days do i need or inrervals if I will water them. Do I need to check them too if they are dry? Plss help😁😁😁😁
Do not water for next 10 days. Open the bag every 10 days and add a few drops on soil, if dry. The new growth and roots may take 4 to 20 weeks depending on temperature.
@@GardenTricks thank you very muchhhhh😁😁😁 hope those cutttings will get roots😂
mine droped allot of leaves i bought it in winter and i think the cold walk to and from the car did it. do i need to use the tops if so im doing them all i got 8 sections of 3 foot of bare stalk attatched to the most beautiful nibari i ever saw.. i dont want to lose that root base but the tree as a whole lost its beuty
I would cut and regrow the top softwood of the branches as shown in the video. The lower semi hardwood portions of the branches can be rooted in water. In this way you can make several new rubber plants. Good luck.
@@GardenTricks thank you. greatly appreciated. keep up the good work and the great vids.
What is the purpose of sealing it in a bag for two weeks? I'm a bit worried that it will encourage mould/rot. Thanks
Enclosing the cuttings in bag ensures high humid environment, needed for rooting. The cutting will rot if the soil is not free draining. The rubber cuttings do not need water at this stage as there are no roots.
@@GardenTricks in my case, I don't have rooting powder, is it still possible for my rubber plant cutting to survive? 😢
@@robinsparkles8621 Yes, I have rooted many rubber plant cuttings without rooting hormone.
@@GardenTricks Relieved! Thank you. 😊 Thank you for noticing and replying to my question. 😊
How can the plants get oxygen when the bag are seal? Can I put into a zip lock bag? And do I need to water at all?
Zip lock bag is OK. Do not water for 10 days, then open the bag and add a few drops of water only if the soil appears dry. Too much water will rot the cutting as there are no roots. The air inside is sufficient for plant to breath.
Im currently on rubber plant icu ,have to wait for a month before opening it,hope it will be a blast
Have you planted cuttings?
Can i propagate it with only a stem cutting that has no leaves ? I cut the upper part and propagated it but i also want to use the lower part that has no leaves
Yes, you can. I have done it for a rubber tree which dropped all the lower leaves.
hi. i watched your video and i tried it with my rubber tree. its been a month now. i was wondering why my cuttings has no roots yet. though i can see small buds appearing above the leaf. could you help me more on this please. by the way i used rooting hormone as well.
Thank you so much
Don,t woory. It will root, it depends on the temperature and thickness of stem. Keep in shade in high humidity in the bag. Small bud appearing means the cutting will root but yet no roots. I think it may take another month. My many cuttings took more than 3 months to root.
Is it okay for the leaves to touch the plastic bag? I read somewhere that you can’t
No harm if the leaves touch the bag.
@@GardenTricks thanks for the quick reply!
@@poopb34r You are welcome.
I bought online a rubber plant cuttings and I received it 3 days after. Is it still possible to succed in propagating it?
Surprised that you bought the cutting, and there are people who sell them. I think still they are good if the the stem looks OK. Place the cuttings in water for 10 minutes and then plant as shown. i am hopeful, they will root.
Parece un milagro de vida... lo voy a probar si me sale bien, será un canto a la vida vegetal y a la tuya. Gracias de Nieves
Thanks for your comments. Good luck!
Gracias por tus comentarios. ¡Buena suerte!
Hi, can the half leaves also root? I see you have stuck them into the soil and new tips seem to be growing from them. If so, do you need to add rooting hormone and at which end?
Only the lower portion of the leaf that is attached to the stem can be tried for rooting. The upper half portion can not be rooted.
Great video... thanks for sharing...will try it and post an update in the near future.... wish me luck...
Best of luck Jacqueline Chahine!
i got a stem cutting of a rubber plant and i’ve kept it in water for four days now, will it still propagate if i use this method?
If the cutting is from the top of the branch with new growth, then it will rot in water in a few days. If the cutting is not from top, then it will root in water in 2-3 months. You can put your cuttimg in soil as shown.
Garden, Places, Health thank you for the prompt reply! i actually have two cuttings. One of them, like you said is from the top and is looking a little weak. the other one is more sturdy. do you think it’ll still propagate if i transfer it to soil now? i don’t want to let it root in water since that’ll take a long time
@@salsy3415 Yes, you put both the cuttings in soil. If you do not have rooting hormonr, then apply aloe vera gel and plant the cuttings. Good luck.
Garden, Places, Health thank you for your advice! i’ve put both the cuttings in soil as per the video, i’m hoping for the best!
@@GardenTricks so cuttings from the top of the branch with new growth always rot and die? Only the ones from the middle will successfully root?
Hi can i ask why the need to cut upper leaves in half? :-))
So that there is a minimum of water loss due to evaporation. Also as there are no roots, so the leaves will not get sufficient water and will fall down.
You are so helpful sir, thank you so much! 👍🏻
Glad it helped!
I tried to propagate some cuttings of my rubber plant without looking it up and failed. It seems the step I didn't do is cut the leaves. Thanks for your informative video!
Sodylin when you don’t cut the leaves in 1/2 or the more “unnecessary leaves” a new plant has the more it struggles to keep those leaves happy and losing nutrients instead of putting the energy and nutrients towards root production!
Sir, thank u. I tried as u said and It came out very well. Pls suggest me to when and how repot from old one.
It is good that your rubber cuttings have rooted. Open the bag, always keep the pot in shade for another 1 month. Water less. After that repot it as shown in my video on repotting a rubber plant (will be live today afternoon)

Hi my rubber plant is just 3 months old and has completely shed leaves. It had about 4-5 leaves and now has none and starting to dry. Please suggest how can I bring the life back. I got this plan with lots of love :(
Rubber plant shed leaves dur to underwatering or overwatering. If the leaves of your rubber plant started dropping leaves from bottom, then it shows plant is not getting enough water at the bottom of pot. If the leaves become soggy before falling, means overwatering. If the soil of your plant is dry, then water until it comes out of the pot from bottom. Then water only when the top 1 inch soil becomes dry, probably in 8-10 days. I hope you are keeping your plant in shade. Good luck.
@@GardenTricks thank you very much for the response. I have kept it in the shade as it has no leaves left. I see the steam being dry at bottom but after couple of days now the plant seems to be drying up. Can I take cuttings so that I can try revive my mother plant and see if I can get new plants. Not sure if this would be a good step.
@@deepgals i had one similar rubber plant whichlost almost all the lower leaves. I cut the branch and put the top portion in soil to root and lower stem cut into 3 parts and put in water. All are now rooting, mow 6 new plants!
@@deepgals Further toy previous reply, the parent plant will branch out making the plant bushy.
@@GardenTricks this sounds very encouraging. I am going to try it out and let you know how it goes. Tha is again.
Thank you!
You are welcome.
How much portion of the cutting we should insert into the soil. Pl reply. What is poting mix? 🤔
You can insert 2 to 4 inch in soil. The potting mix should be free draining. You can add coarse sand or perlite in the soil to mske it free draining.
My potting mix on hand is a mixture of black soil, coco peat, vermicast and rice hull. Is it good for this procedure?
When are you able to take the plant out of the bag/repot after it has a new growth?
Many times you see the new leaf but actually the roots are very few and week. I take the plant out after more than a month and replant.
Can I use plant growth stimulant instead of rooting hormones?
Both are the same thing.
Hi thanks for the video. Question: is it okay if i just wrap it around with a plastic wrapper?
Yes, you can, the requirement is to create high humidity for rooting.
Superb 👍sir where r from u??
Thanks.
Can i do this without rooting hormone
Yes, you can try. I have rooted many rubber cuttings without rooting hormone. You can use aloe vera gel if you can get an aloe leaf.
What do we do after 2 week in polythene bag...should polythene bag be removed? And where to place tge cuttings then?
Continue it in the bag until new leaf id grown, then open the bag and keep in shade. Water only when the soil is dry.
@@GardenTricks its been more than 2 weeks but no roots growth ...neither from pruned portion nor the leaf nor the node with leaf.

Hi good day. My rubber plants fall off leaves after 3 weeks and stem are moist same with the soil. But i noticed a white hairy like a rotten stem. Something happen?
If lower leaves are falling, then the roots at the bottom not getting enough water. If the leaves started falling from top, then too much eater. Rotten soggy stem indicate too much
water.
@@GardenTricks i ddnt water it seems a new propation cutting i leave it and sealed for 3 weeks, when i open it this things happen

Will it grow?
How long does it takes to have roots?
Between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on temperature and cutting thickness.
what can i do for the parent plant? is there anything i should put on the cut?
No. Just leave it. It will heal itself and new branches will emerge in time.
Garden, Places, Health it could recieve sunlight? Or I should place it where there’s indirect light? Or in shadow?

To minimize water evaporation through leaves.

It is good that a new leaf is forming. But I am sure, roots are yet not there. Open the bag for half day only for 2 more weeks, keep the bag in shade. After 2 weeks, open the bag and continue it for another 2 weeks. You may see roots coming out from the bottom of the pot. DO NOT OVER WATER. Water only if the soil looks dry.
The first half day or the second half day. Daily for two weeks.

So nice of you
Sir I shifted my 7 feet tall rubber plant to a big pot. But the leaves are dropping down. Will it die? It has been 3 days since I shifted the plant I think 2 long roots have been broken. So I'm scared now that the plant might die. Now I'm thinking to propagate it via this method
If the leaves started to drop from bottom, thst measn the bottom toots are not hetting enough water. Too much water will drop leaves from top. Leaves can also drop because of repot shock. Wait for a few few days, plant will not die. Loss of 2 roots may not cause plant to fie. Give deaweed solution, the plant woll revover from shock.
@@GardenTricks thankuh sir. The middle leaf are not bending. But upper and lower has bend. And the soil is enough moist. When I touch the soil its sticking onto my finger so i think i dont need to water it right now. Now I'm just hoping for the best. Once again thanks a lot.
@@malvikagohil2066 i think yhe plant will survive, it may be just shock. If you have seaweed, feed it.Otheteise wait and watch. Keep the plant in bright shade. Water only when top 1 inch is dry.

@@GardenTricks awk I'll definitely let u know after a week or so. Thankuh sir. 😀😃
Thanks for your advice. 🙏
My pleasure!
Why is cutting the leaves in half important? Does it help the plant expend less energy on the old leaves and concentrate on new growth?
Thank you so much for the help. My instinct would have been to keep the leaves thinking the more I damaged the plant the more likely it would be to die!
Cutting the leaves into half will prevent too much moisture loss through the leaves.
It reduces transpiration loss..and thus helps the growth of roots
Very good idea
Many many thanks
I followed ur steps n kept for two weeks. Result all old leaves kharab hoker gir gai aur koi bhi new root nahi aai. Pl bataye essa kyo hua.
The old leaves may fall. The new leaf and root may take up to 2 months depending on several factors.
Possible Reasons:
1. You should Try in rubber plant growing season, from Spring to Summer.
2. Take cutting from the top growing portion.
3. Soil should be free draining. For this add sand in soil.
4. Too much water will rot the cutting.
5. Create high humidity by enclosing in bag.
6. Cleanliness. It is like an operation. The cutter should be disinfected in bleach water.
Should i keep the plastic bag until the 6th week?
You have to open the bag after every 10 days and look for new growth, new leaf or roots coming from the holes of the pot at its bottom. The cuttings normally take 4 to 6 weeks to root depending on temperature. Remove the bag after that.
Can i propagate rubber tree by planting a leaf alone?
I tried rooting a single leaf of a rubber plant. It produced good roots, but it has not produced any new leaf so far in last 5 months. Watch

It ia good that your rubber plant cuttings have rooted. Please ensure that roots have grown, look at the bottom of the pot. You can open the bag and continue the pot in shade for another 4 -5 weeks. Water less.
My plant has new growth at the top when i planted it do i cut the top off too
You can cut the new branches after they grow 2 sets of leaves or become 8 to 10 inch long.
Hi, I am curious to k ow why you cut the leaves in half. Thanks
To reduce the water loss from leaves.
Garden, Places, Health Many thanks , I am going to try your method. I have 2 ficus elastica. One is dark green and other is variegated. The method you have shown is quite easy to follow. Thanks once again
I try this method,my cutting grown healthy,but now i kept d pot in a room indirect sunlight the leaves r droping down. Why sir. pls reply.
If the leaves started dropping from bottom, that shows the plant roots at the bottom of the pot are not getting enough water.
Mabubuhay ba kung hindi malagyan nang hormone .
If you take cutting from growing stem with a unopened bud, then it may root without hormone.
Kung kukuha ka ng paggupit mula sa lumalagong stem na may isang hindi nabuksan na usbong, pagkatapos ay maaari itong mag-ugat nang walang hormon.
wow 👏 😮 👏 😮 👏 😮
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. I will try defenetly.
All the best
Hi, thanks for the video. Just one question, after two week, do i have to remove the plastic, or just watered it and cover it again ?
You have to cover it again. You may see the new bud forming in a few weeks, but continue the pot in the bag as there are no roots yet. When the leaf fully opens, then you can remove the bag, but continue the pot in shade for 4-5 weeks more to allow the roots become stronger. Water only lightly when the soil dries, may be once a week.
@@GardenTricks Thank you for the fast reply. How many weeks until i completely open the plastic? and how to check the roots?
@@lorensiuswlt . It will be more than 4 weeks depending on the temperature. The whole new plant may take 3 months.
1. Tuck the stem with finger, it will be restive.
2. You may see roots coming out from the bottom holes of the pot.
@@GardenTricks Ok thank you very much for the information. God Bless.
Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks
Thank you.
Welcome!
What is the purpose of cutting the leaf? For energy to focus on the other parts of the plant ?
Cutting the leaves into half will prevent too much moisture loss through the leaves. It is thought that leaves have an ability to generate hormones suitable for developing roots, so keep 2-3 half leaves.
Sir, don't u water it now?
Has the cutting rooted?
After 2 weeks po if may nkita n new growth tanggalin nba s icu
Sorry, I could not understand your question.
@@GardenTricks sir after 2 weeks b na sabi mo n tingnan diligan f need nang tubig at may nkita kang sumibol tatanggalin nba sya s pagkabalot nya ng plastic
@@nanettegonzales618 In 2 weeks, you will not see any new growth. Even if you see new growth, add a few drops on soil and enclose it in the bag for at least 2 more weeks. Sa loob ng 2 linggo, hindi ka makakakita ng anumang bagong paglago. Kahit na makakita ka ng bagong paglago, magdagdag ng ilang mga patak sa lupa at isara ito sa bag nang hindi bababa sa 2 higit pang mga linggo.
Why there's a need to cut half of the top leaves?
The aim is to reduce water evaporation through leaves.
So what happens to the plant you cut? Doesn't it bleed to death? Or does it heal over and make another leader?
The cut end will grow new branches, 2 or more as shown at the end of video.
@@GardenTricks why my rubber plant has only one new branch after cutting. I did to two plants and it is the same, only one new branch. Advise pls. Tq
@@sandrarajamani5621 I cannot explained this, this happened only once on my many cuttings. You can try this to force new branches

When should I remove them from plastic permanently? When they develop roots?
When you see roots from the bottom coming out ot a nrw leaf is formed, open the bag and krep the pot in shade for 4 weeks.
@@GardenTricks okay😁😁
Very informative video
Thanks for your comments.
when you cut below the node, do you cut at an angle?
Jazmine Ramos You may cut at any angle, but the stem must be thin.
Not necessary, you can cut the stem at any angle. Cutting at an angle increases the surface area of the bottom, thereby absorbing more water/moisture.
thanks for sharing
I tried this and the whole stem just rotted, when I pulled it out it was soft and had larvae inside it! What am I doing wrong?
I think soil too much watery, it is not free-draining. Add some sand in soil to make it free draining.
Garden, Places, Health thank you!!
