The cutting method of rubber tree includes four steps, and the survival rate is 100%.

When it comes to cutting propagation, it is the most commonly used method to cultivate plants. Its principle is to cut off the stems, leaves, roots and buds of plants, insert them in soil or water, and wait for them to take root and sprout. The plant I am talking about here is rubber tree. Because of its thick leaves and evergreen seasons, it is very popular with people. So what are the cutting methods of rubber trees? Let me talk about the cutting method of rubber trees.

Pruning time of rubber tree

Cuttings of rubber trees can be carried out in spring and autumn, with the best in May-September. In addition, cutting can be carried out when the temperature is kept above 15 degrees. When the air humidity is relatively high, it is easy to survive in June-July.

2. The branches selected in different seasons are also different. The middle and upper parts suitable for strong branches in alternate years can be selected for rubber tree cutting in spring, and annual strong branches can be selected for cutting in autumn.

3. Cutting quality directly affects the survival rate of cutting. It is best to choose thick branches that are born every other year and whose surfaces are not completely lignified as cuttings. Because this branch is nutritious, it is easier to take root and has strong disease resistance. Others, such as lignification, are not easy to survive, too tender and perishable.

Cutting method of rubber tree

1. First cut the prepared branches into sections of 12- 15cm and blanch them with boiling water. The standard of scalding is that the white juice of rubber tree does not ooze. By the way, cut off the extra leaves and keep two.

2. Then put it into the prepared glass bottle and fill it with clear water. If clean water is tap water, it can be left for a few days before use. Just put it in and move it to a place with plenty of light. Spray wet water on the leaves of rubber trees every day to reduce the temperature.

3. Then change the water every 2-3 days. Keep this environment for ten days, and the rubber tree cuttings will grow white roots. When the roots grow to 4-6 mm, they can be moved into a wooden box filled with river sand, and the planting depth is 9- 10 cm. Then pour enough water and cover with a film.

4. After half a month, the cuttings can be moved into the flowerpot. After two weeks, you can fix the roots, remove the extra tender axillary buds, leave only two, and pour a little water. Wait until new leaves grow, and finally maintain them according to normal conditions.
