1、 How to make the rubber tree grow side branches

The most effective and simple way to make the rubber tree grow side branches is to behead and let the rubber tree hold new buds again

1. Beheading: prepare a pair of gardening scissors, cut the rubber tree at the waist with scissors, and keep the base of the branches at about 50cm. The cut mouth can be sealed with wax oil produced by the burning of candles to prevent water loss and bacterial infection of the branches, and all the leaves on the branches will be removed

2. Maintenance: the rubber tree after decapitation is placed in the astigmatism and ventilation place. In almost a month, the rubber tree will sprout new stems and leaves at the branch bud point. After budding, the plant will grow rapidly. In three or four months, the rubber tree can grow into a new potted plant with many side branches

3. Cutting: don't throw away the trimmed rubber branches. Dry the fresh branches, insert them into the wet basin soil, and put them in a cool and ventilated place to keep the soil moist. After the branches take root, you can also develop a new basin of rubber trees

2、 Can the trunk of rubber tree be carved with buds

Rubber trees can be cut into buds, but the branches and stems of rubber trees must have a certain thickness. Cut a wound with a knife 0.5-1cm above the branch bud point. The length of the wound is half of the circumference of the branch. The depth of the cut should be just enough to cut the bark. When operating in warm spring, rubber trees can soon produce lateral buds
