Ficus elastica

This majestic rubber plant is at my bf's work and it needs some love! What is the best way to #prune / take #cuttings for #rubberplant to make him healthier?

@PossumPatrol @mzambz may be able to help. Check out the rubber trees in their feeds.

@brightcolours @PossumPatrol my dad has been propagating rubber trees! He gave me mine... I know he's tried a few diff ways so I'll ask him!! 🤓

That would be unreal, thanks @mzambz !

No problem! Hopefully will have info tonight 😁 @teebone

Hmmm it looks like it's in need of a good few long drinks. Pruning wise, I've found that cutting the top off just under the 2nd or 3rd node is good to help the bottom start to grow again (I plucked a few sad leaves off the bottom half of mine ages ago and they only just started growing back). Propogation has been slow going for me mostly because we are only now getting warm weather. Hopefully soon..

Looking forward to hearing back from @mzambz 's dad too hehe

@teebone @PossumPatrol ahh I swear I replied but can't see my comment! Ugh sometimes GTs doesnt load correctly for me sorry!!! I had said my dad said hormone rooting compound and sphagnum moss does the job!!
