A complete collection of propagation and pruning methods of rubber trees

Rubber tree, also known as Indian rubber tree, rubber tree, Brazilian rubber, Euphorbiaceae banyan tree, is an evergreen foliage plant. Rubber tree trunk is obvious, less branched, with air roots, leaves larger, thick leathery, glossy, round to long oval. Rubber tree is of high ornamental value and has a very good effect in decorating and beautifying the house. it is often potted in the living room or study. However, a problem often encountered in planting rubber trees is that rubber trees are very easy to form an upright shape, so they often need to be pruned. Let's take a look at the planting and pruning methods of rubber trees.

Planting method of rubber tree

Intercalation method

Planting rubber trees is very simple and easy to operate, and rubber trees are easy to survive. In general, when planting rubber trees in late spring and early summer, it is better to choose one-year-old semi-lignified middle branches. When the cuttings are inserted, the cuttings are sealed with plaster or plant ash. The length of the cuttings is standard to retain 3 buds. The rubber tree cuttings should be inserted on the bed with plain sand or frog stone as the matrix. The temperature of the bed should be controlled at about 18 to 25 degrees. Water regularly and provide sunshade and ventilation.

High branch striping method

This method is more suitable for general family planting, and the survival rate of rubber trees is also relatively high. Select the 2-year-old rubber tree branches with appropriate size, good development and well-organized tissue, peel the rioters lightly and apply appropriate naphthalene acetic acid solution, then wrap the ring-cutting parts with wet soil or moss mixture or vermiculite that absorbs enough water, and wrap them with plastic film on the outside, pay attention to the tight binding at the lower end and leave holes at the upper end. This method is generally applicable to June of every year.

Rubber tree pruning method

Pick the heart

The method of heart-picking and pruning refers to the method of removing the top bud of the technical strip or cutting off the top of the technical strip to promote the germination of lateral branches. The rubber tree has a strong apical advantage. 2-3 lateral buds near the top of the branch are easy to germinate. After the lateral branch grows, the tree is cup-shaped or Y-shaped. It is appropriate to grasp the height close to the diameter of the flowerpot when coring.

Truncation

Although not many people use this method, but in fact, the pruning effect is still good. Dozens of people can directly cut off 1/3 or 1/2 of the upper part of the whole main branch of the rubber tree, which can promote the germination of side branches in the trunk of the rubber tree. Although the rubber tree will not look good after being pruned at the initial stage, it is extremely beneficial to the growth of the rubber tree in the later stage.

Carve bud

Sprouting is a way to cut the bare part of the main branch of a rubber tree. This method can promote the sprouting of buds under the wounded parts of rubber trees and form lateral branches, and at the same time, it can also change the growth direction of rubber trees. Note that when you burn, the depth of the wound is from the epidermis to the xylem, the length of the wound is 1/2 of that around the stem, and the distance between the wounds is about 0.2cm.

Conclusion: the vitality of rubber tree is very tenacious, whether it is the initial planting or late editing, people do not have to worry about it all the time, it is indeed a good foliage plant. The above is about the rubber tree breeding and pruning methods introduction, I hope to help you.
