cut it just above a leaf node. Rubber plants will bleed (white sticky liquid) There is a wax you can get at gardening stores to cover the wound and stop the bleeding, I just use a plain old piece of paper towel, folded up into many layers and tied on by a strip of cloth, remove a day or two later when the bleeding has stopped.
Note, your tree will branch where it;s been cut.
My ikea bonzai tree is dying, it has nearly lost all of its leaves, the watering instructions went over my head. something about submerging it in water and waiting for the bubbles to stop surficing, so I have been watering it normally, can some1 explain?

We have a healthy rubber plant which needs repotting, but it has a long root which as grown out of the soil, on the surface, and is now trailing across the floor. Should we cut it off or plant it at the bottom of the new pot?

My mom's job gave me a rubber plant when she passed 4 years ago it has grown very well, so well the main stalk has reached my ceiling in the livingroom. How do I cut it so it will not get damaged and how do I stop it from bleeding once I cut it?

My husband bought me a rubber tree. I but it in a 10" pot and watered it good. Now the roots are showing again, and it's stating to sprout. However the soul is getting dry again. Does anyone know if I should water it soon. It grows funny
