How to propagate rubber trees

1. Cutting propagation

This method is the most commonly used because it is easier to survive. Before cutting, you need to choose a time. Generally, spring is the best time. Because it likes heat, the temperature should be controlled above 20 degrees. Then you can cut some branches that are growing well and wrap the wounds with soil. In addition, there should be 3 small buds left on the cuttings, with 2 leaves on them, and then tie them together.

2. High-pressure breeding

It is usually used at home. First, choose two-year-old strong branches, then peel them 1 cm wide, and apply medicine to ensure its freshness and vitality. Then wrap it with absorbent soil, and finally tie it up and down with plastic film and wait for 3 to 4 weeks. In June, you can layer it, and it will take root in July or August, and then you can transplant it.

3. Water propagation

This method of reproduction is the simplest. First, we need to cut about 10 cuttings from those strong branches, tie them together with ropes, and then we can insert them into the water at a depth of one third. Then remember to change the water every day. Before it takes root, you need to change the water every three days. After it takes root, you can change the water every day. After 50 days, you can plant it in a flowerpot.
