Cut about halfway up this stem. Thank you Hi Ella! You can see me The majority of the cuttings I pot up are given away. You may want to wait though – sometimes plants will pop out new leaves even if they’ve lost them – keep an eye out for buds on the stem.So why do u do if the white stuff keeps going and won’t stop, and now the water I put it into is all milky?Hi Nikki, eventually the leaking stops. Unlike Monsteras, Rubber trees do not need to root in water. A less reliable but additional option to propagate a Rubber tree friend is taking that cutting and letting it grow roots in water. I’m hoping to propagate it (although I am nervous to do so), but I don’t think there’s any hope of it growing on the left side? I take cuttings anywhere from 3″ – 10″ & remove the bottom 1 – 5 leavesTake shorter cuttings (3-5″) & put them into a light mix like a propagation or succulent & cactus mix.
I tip pruned (this is where the top 1-3″ of newer growth is removed) a few of the stems. I cut my Rubber plant with roots and stem leaving it with 1 leaf. I’ll put it into the bay window as and when it’s not too sunny.Hi!
My plant is really old but I don’t want to loose itHi Dawn, Yes that will work, just be sure to keep it in a humid environment and out of direct, hot sun.Hello! I took cutting today from a 20 year rubber tree my granny planted. I take it the bag is removed every now and then to water.Hi Jam, it depends on the light it gets but you want to keep the cutting slightly moist, so I would check once or twice a week. I’m doing a few different propagation tests – various stem cuttings in either soil or water. Here’s a post on care for you: I have 3 peperomia marbleplants, which came altogether in a single pot.
