First, how to make the rubber tree grow more side branches

The most effective and simple way to make a rubber tree have long side branches is to cut off its head and let the rubber tree sprout again.

1. Beheading: prepare a pair of gardening scissors, cut the rubber tree at the waist with scissors, and keep the base of the branch around 50cm. The cut can be sealed with wax oil from candle burning to prevent water loss and bacterial infection from the branches, and all the leaves on the branches are removed.

2. Maintenance: after decapitation, the rubber tree is placed in a place of astigmatism and ventilation. For almost a month, the rubber tree will sprout new stems and leaves at the bud point of the branch. After budding, the plant will grow rapidly. After three or four months, the rubber tree can grow into a new potted plant with many side branches.

3. Cutting: do not throw away the branches of the rubber tree after pruning. Cut the fresh branches to dry, insert them into the wet basin soil, and put them in a cool and ventilated place to keep the soil slightly tide. after the branches take root, you can also develop a new rubber tree.

Can the trunk of the rubber tree be sprouted?

Rubber trees can carve buds, but the branches of rubber trees must be made sure to have a certain thickness. At 0.5-1cm above the bud point of the branch, cut a wound with a knife, the length of the wound is half of the perimeter of the branch, and the depth of the wound should be just enough to cut the bark. When operating in the warm spring, the rubber tree will soon be able to produce lateral buds.
