2 Ways To Grow Free Rubber Plants (Ficus Elastica) - Leaf Cutting + Stem Cutting (water + soil)

Roughly one year ago I shared with you 2 ways to make free Rubber Plants (Ficus elastica) from leaf and stem cuttings by rooting them either in soil or in water. Here is an update video to share with you how my rubber plants are growing. Thanks for watching❤️.

Plus tip, please pin my comment : put your rubber cutting in a poly house /greenhouse . TAKE YOUR CUTTING and from it's bottom, like we do in air layering, remove its bark with help of knife round of it, and surround that cut with MOSS(wet it with water and press it to remove extra , then use it) . Put this cutting in a pot with cocopeat only or can add sand.DONT ADD ANY SOIL. YOUR ALL THE CUTTINGS WILL GROW WITH 100% SUCCESS RATE .I have grown many cuttings including rubber plant by this method only in 15 days. AND

I have a rubber plant that has grown too tall. I want to cut it back very short. The problem is there are no leaves for around one meter from the ground. If I cut from the base without leaving any leaves, will it not die, and will the shoots come up?

Very well explained mam, I hv question that is it the same way stem cutting propagation to be done for any ficus variety and other plants and in what type of plants callous formation should be done, as u hv not given time for it's callous formation, also kindly let me know alternative home based rooting hormones....

[@heartfrancisco7999]

how long did it take for it to have roots?

[@Binnie_303]

That’s definitely going to depend on your home environment. Light , water quality, and the color of the vessel you are using. Ficus elastica don’t seem to be too worried about humidity but it’s an added bonus. I would recommend frequent water changes, bright light, and a darker vessel.

[@Ureyedoc]

Min 1.5 month

[@omkarvv1661]

mam I got 3 ft rubber plant cutting. should I cut it into 2-3 parts ? but I want to propagate as it is 3ft.

[@smallthingswithmoumita9444]

Hi...generally the cuttings should be 4-6 inches long. If your cuttings are too long they might not root well. So it's better that you cut the stem into minimum 3-4 parts. And as we want the cuttings to use all the energy to make new roots, cut off extra bottom leaves and cut remaining leaves in half if they are big.

[@gerigame2995]

What happs to the old plant if it do a stem cut from the top? Does it stop growing?

[@ghengis430]

It gets bushier, chopping the top off is recommended when you only have a slim one.
