How to propagate rubber trees by cuttings

It is actually not difficult to propagate rubber trees by cuttings. First, we can cut a branch with a height of more than 10 cm from the mother plant. At the same time, be sure to cut an oblique cut at the bottom. Then make sure to rinse the white liquid flowing out of the wound. At the same time, apply an appropriate amount of plant disinfectant on the wound at the bottom of the branch. Wait until the wound has turned white and dry after being dried in the sun, then you can use it for cuttings.

Rubber tree cutting time

The time for cuttings of rubber trees is generally in spring, summer and autumn every year. The best time for cuttings is June to July every summer. At this time, the surrounding environment is in a state of relatively high air humidity, which is very suitable for the growth of rubber trees. The survival rate of rubber trees is also the highest at this time.

Rubber tree cutting method

If you want to have a high survival rate for rubber tree cuttings, you must pay attention to the choice of soil. Generally speaking, the soil used for rubber trees is nutrient soil and river sand. After the two are mixed in a 1: 1 ratio, they can be put into use. This kind of soil has very good air permeability and water permeability, and is also rich in various nutrients, which can increase the survival rate of rubber trees.

Rubber tree cutting rooting

If you want the rubber tree to take root quickly after cuttings, you must remember to dry the cut wound at the bottom before cutting. If conditions permit, it is best to do some sterilization and disinfection to prevent bacterial infection of the cut wound. If you then use this branch for cuttings, the chance of survival can reach 100%.
