I cut off the top of the plant with multiple leaves and put rooting hormone on the cut then put in soil. Works every time. I never saved the base of the plant with the roots, but I am wondering if leaves would grow where it was cut also.
I pinched the tip out of my elastica and it branched quite a lot underneath. We saw them being tapped for rubber in Malaysia. They’re lovely and pretty easy plants to grow.
That's interesting, I actually had the opposite experience :) Had mine (robusta, belize and altissima) in either seramis or pon indoors with them getting light from an eastern window and southern skylight. Growth was too slow, so I moved them into a small unheated "greenhouse". They still weren't quite happy enough so I ended up moving them into an inorganic soil mix and they've since taken off. Altissima dropped more than half of its leaves, but roots look much healthier than in seramis (I might have been underwatering in there, only hoya and succulents seem to be happy in seramis only with my care😅). Shivereana went straight into that same mix and spot, I didn't want to experiment there.
Thank you for this video! I was wondering if your ficus burgundy is more tolerant to direct light because of its dark leaves or is it the other way around? Or are all ficus sun loving plants?
With this side branch rubber plant looks so much prettier and bushier. That’s absolutely awesome.

Tapped for rubber that's awesome to see! They are indeed very lovely and easy. That's the reason why they are one of my fav ;p
Nice!
Thanks!

Good question. In my opinion all ficus are sun loving plants but the darker the leaves the more tolerate to light!
😂😂😂. "What the f**k is he talking about"??
No one knows 🙌🏼
@@PlantingPlants lol. I'm referring to what was said. It was funny.. 😁
