When Rubber fig are pruned, they are usually re pruned in winter, and the branches are pruned substantially. This is to cut the upright strong branches from the base. In summer, it is generally to control the growth of lateral branches and the strength to adjust the tree situation. Follow the principle of strong lateral branch heading, strong branch heavy cutting, thin and weak branch light cutting to accelerate plant growth. When pruning in summer, we should pay attention not to prune in rainy days, which is easy to cause wound infection.
When pruning Rubber fig, pay attention to the smooth cut, the height of stubble is 1 - 2cm, not too high or too low
When pruning, we should pay attention to highlighting the main trunk and branches, thinning the too dense branches, and do a good job of wiping the buds. In this way, unnecessary lateral buds can be reduced, plant type is better, and nutrients are more concentrated.
After pruning the Rubber fig, we should pay attention to protect the plant. First of all, at the cutting point, a lot of juice will flow out to avoid excessive loss of juice, leading to infection. Generally, it's better to put some plant ash on the wound
The cut branches can be used for cutting propagation, which is relatively simple. Generally, the temperature and the appropriate humidity can be maintained, and the roots can take place in about half a month in a half overcast environment.
