Many flower friends are worried about the thin Rubber fig. They don't know how to make it grow thick. In fact, the method is very simple. We can pick out the top branch properly, pinch off the top branch with fingers, and trim the semi wooden part with dense bud eyes. All these methods can make it grow stronger.

1. Take heart

We can take care of it, but what we need to notice is how to do it. Generally speaking, we don't need to use any tools, just pinch off the top with fingers. After finishing this measure, we can find that its branches grow better, but its length and coarseness will not be effective immediately, it will take several years to see the effect

2. Trim

Pruning can also make it grow thick, but we need some methods, if we operate improperly, it will not work. Generally speaking, we need to trim the semi wooden part of it, especially the place with dense bud eyes. If we only cut off the tender part above, it will cause it to grow unsightly. Even if it grows lateral branches, the number will not be much, only one branch or so, so that it can't grow thick.

3. Precautions

① when trimming, we can put some incense on the wound, because the juice will not flow away. Of course, we need to be careful, because it is difficult to clean the juice stuck on the clothes.

② after we trim it, we should pay attention to watering. Because the leaves are not as many as before, so the demand for water is not high, so we need to water less.

③ of course, we should pay attention to the fact that when watering, we also need to make up some fertilizer, so that it will grow better, and its branches will be coarser. When making up fertilizer, we should pay attention to adding more nitrogen and less potassium and phosphorus.
