Pruning My Too Tall Rubber Tree + Propagation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- 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!

Here’s an update on the rubber tree and propagations!

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
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.
Lol "weird milky stuff" that's latex, you know the stuff rubber is made of hence the name "rubber tree" 😅 Beautiful plant thought and nice video 🤗
holy cow! coolest fun fact of the day thanks
WOAH! didn't know that! amazing!!!

Loved This Video! thanks for showing everything from pruning, propagating, showing root growth, potting up, and updates on your baby rubber trees.
This was a great video thank you! I've been looking for one that shows the progress after the tree has been chopped back so much. Thank you for showing what happens in the next couple months in the video!
THANKS! My rubber plant is HUUUUGE. and I'm glad I found your video because it let me know what I need to do! yippee!
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
I had no idea how I was going to handle my tall rubber tree. Thank you so much!!! Gained a new subscriber 🙂
Just found you. Thank you for being so easy to understanding. Loved your video and it really answered my questions.
So happy I found this as I've looked, and you was right it's all about small and mine was big like yours, thank you so much xx
I loved this video so much!! And would love to see more plant vids!
Very nice looking rubber tree 💖👍
thank you. informative, concise and most helpful.
Thank you for this, my tree is wayyyy too tall and not bushy enough, so this was the perfect video! :)
Thank you THANK YOU! Great Video and just the thing I was looking for 🥰
Thank you soooo much for showing the updates in the same video
Thank you for making this video!!
Thanks for the informational video! Gonna try it myself.
Great video thank you! I also have a one stem 9ft tap tree that needs shortening. I'll try and get the cuttings to take door and put a couple together in a pot. 😊
Love the fox farm soil some great potting mix
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks! I did it! Cut off a 4 foot section.
I love those plants I have 3 pots live with me indoors
Eso es todo mi güera 👏🏼
Love it..
I usually like to let mine self prune in the ceiling fan on the lanai. Though to be honest, your way does seem more effective. All kidding aside, good video. I was looking for the exact same thing you were. Thanks.
Hahaha I mean whatever works 😂 thanks for watching!!
I appreciate this video. I too have a really tall rubber plant and have been so nervous about cutting them but soon I won’t have a choice. This was reassuring. What did you or will you do with the last tall standing stem?
Love plants
beautiful plant...
thank u shearing
loved this thx
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
Thank you!!!
Thanks so much for this video. I have a tall single stem rubber tree in my apartment and is so worried about cutting for more branches. So worried because it is indoor and lacking sunlight; and that it might not regrow or won’t regrow well.
Great Video , it was very helpful, I hope mines get that tall one day😍
Dudes game face is on point
That’s so cool. Thank you for sharing 🤗 How old is your 8ft rubber tree?
Thanks for the video ❣❣❣❣
Thank my tree is about 8ft I needed this video
Thank you for this video! I have a super tall rubber tree that is precariously leaning. Looks like we'll be doing a big chop come spring. 🙈
Good luck!! 💚💚💚
THANKYOU
Very interesting video. Do you have any tips on how to prune a bushy rubber plant?
I need to do this. Because my Rubber tree is going to touch the ceiling. Thanks dear 💐
Awesome
Thank you so much, mine is 10 foot tall and I’ve always been afraid to cut it back, so OK tomorrow’s the day
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
I only have a rubber plant tree (Bubba) my rubber plant tree has 5 stems and is bushy and 2.5 ft tall. I’m worried she is gonna topple over. 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.
I can’t believe you cut that Beauty
But now she has a whole bunchhhh of bb beauties 🥺
hi!! i have a tall rubber plant but it has lose a lot of leaves in the bottom part. can i cut directly that part without leaves and just leave all the top part? i will put that in the water.
Do you place your rubber tree by the west facing window? where should it be ideally place in the west facing window apartment? My rubber plant leaves getting brown dry spots and patches :(
How often do you change the water in the jars?
How is it doing now? Is it branching out? How fast do rubber trees grow?
haaahaaaaa i like. How he was hiding next to plant
Hi can you explain why putting a propagated pothos helps the propagation of the rubber tree? :) thanks!!
I would like to know the same please 🙂
@@reneewatercolors_by_renee327 putting a cutting that has already some roots promotes rooting on the plant you are trying to propagate :)
@@raquelclh but what specifically about that actually stimulates the new growth? Does the already established root system leech something into the water that helps the new root system to grow better?
@@kayseacamp Root hormones! It stimulates the other cuttings to grow lots of roots. It’s a good trick to help pop off some cutting that might be struggling to root right away
Where are those shelves behind you at the end of the video from?
Why pothos with the big cut off top? What does it do?
how did you get the first plant that big?
I'm going to try this. This rubber plant that I have my husband wants to get rid of but this is a plant that was at my brother's funeral that I took home and I want to keep it growing. I killed a plant from my mother's funeral. :(
What soil do you use for rubber plants?
How you care it mine have been a year not push any leaves???
Hi! My cuttings have been in a jar of water for a couple of weeks but I don't see any roots at all, it's the same as the day I cut it. Is this normal or did I kill it? Hahaha
Hi I have robber plant the plant leaves r cute themself and looking very bad what should I do if I can send u the photo
❤️👍
I live rubber plants and any plants
I never get roots
I threw away the part I cut off cause I had no jars and / or pots to put then in ... I grows so fast I have to cut it again
I need to do this but im so nervous I will kill my tree
How low can you cut the tree….I’m concerned that the bigger, woodier the stem it might not branch out.
what species is this one? I scored one on marketplace and the original owner doesn't know what species it is. thanks.
Hi, I believe she had a ficus elastica burgunday from what I was seeing
I am crying right now because mine rubber plant is not growing at all from ages and she is pruning
HEARTBREAKING
Plant cloning
Aqui no Brasil as pessoas não falam a verdade quanto tempo aparecem as raízes? E preciso trocar a água? Qual o tempo da troca? Vc pode me responder??? obrigado Obrigado obrigado
Water changed every few days. About 2 weeks for roots any plant I have waited lomger for longer roots
I’m surprised that you are using tap water on your plants. There’s so much salt, fluoride, & chlorine that a lot of times the plants can have problems. JS
Your plants ARE beautiful though so your doing something right!!!! LOL 😆
Classic Ricky Bobby!
HUSBAND LOOKS LIKE HE LOST MIND
"Weird" white sap is the latex from which rubber is made from... 🙄
Thanks you for sharing I was looking for tips on how to prune my rubber tree plant and found you. New subbie here. I also have some plant content on my channel along with mostly couponing videos, check it out. Have a great day
ChocolateDrop oh nice!! Thanks for watching! I’ll check it out!
lol. 45 degree angle… girl. No. That’s not 45.
Not one 45° degree cut was made...🤣
An idiot proof plant. Not saying she's an idiot. I'm saying..... You have TRY to kill a rubber tree plant. ALL cuttings will root.... She probably had to give plants to friends.
