What other propagation videos do you want to see?
Monstera, aglonema, fittonia and fiddle leaf fig
Love your video :) were can I keep the water propagation container?? Bright sun? Indirect light?? Outdoors indoors??
Drunken Homemaker great video. I’d like to see croton propagation.
@@vijayagowri-2289 Bright, Indirect light. Thanks for watching!
@@sherrieblake8674 I can do that!
THIS IS THE MOST STRAIGHT FORWARD TUTORIAL EVER. THANK YOU. All other videos were too vague for my taste. THANK YOU THANK YOU.
One thing I love about your video is that your talk but you're also showing what you're doing. not like most people where there just talk talk talk and they're not doing anything. Anyways i propagated my rubber plant and it's doing well in soil i got roots!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for watching, Crystal!
Thanks for posting a video that actually shows the cutting. So many videos ramble on talking about it but then don't even show you what or where to actually cut.
Love this video! Your explanations are so clear and I appreciate the angles that you show on the plant. :) I hope my rubber plant will do well!
Such a great video! Actually shows all the cuts and the perfect amount of detail.
Thanks for the video. I've had one of these for years and it's gone wild, so this is exactly what I needed to know.
I notched several of my rubber plants (and one fiddleleaf fig) a couple days ago to encourage branching and two of the taller ones broke the stem at the notch point. So glad I found your video. I'm about to go propagate the broken stems now! Thanks!
Thank you! I’m going to propagate my plant. I’m scared. But you make it look easy. Wish me luck! Bless you
Thanks for video. I have a lot of Ficus plants some and now I can try something with their clippings!
I'm so glad it was helpful! I'm going to start potting up the cuttings in the coming weeks. Let me know how it goes!
Great Video.
I always remove the bottom leaves leaving about 5 leaves per cutting.
It works well.
Trying my latest cuttings with a bit of fertaliser in the water and see how it goes.
I came here for the rubber tree but kept watching for your nails.
Awwww, thank you! I do them myself because I'm cheap and I actually enjoy doing them! 😋
Hahah the same here!
Perfect! I learned something again 😃 will do exactly what you've just shown!
I really enjoy your sense of humor and your plants
Thank you, Nancy!
I enjoy watching this video. Your technique is exactly the same as mine with propagating. I recently trimmed up my ficus elastica burgundy and hoping to get my original plant bustier as your trying to do as well.
So glad I found this video !! I’m about to get a 10ft rubber plant tomorrow 😬 so this will be helpful !!
Make sure you watch the update! Thank you for watching!
Drunken Homemaker I’ll do that right now !
Thank you: watching you game a very good sense of how to promote branching. I have a beautiful plant which is now very tall. I think I know how to improve on its looks to make it fuller. Terrific video: thank you.
Thank you so much for your video.
I did hit like too.
Keep it coming.
BTW your nails are awesome.
this is so helpful, thank you so much!!!
Thank for sharing the video on this beautiful rubber tree
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much ! This was a lot of help:)
Yeah lol, when you said "this may be very triggering for some of you" I felt that!! But i'm ready to try. Thanks for this video!
I really love to know more about propagation .Thanks for sharing and new friend here.
Nice plant I love it thank you for sharing watching from Riyadh
The moment I subscribed: “So that is what’s left of this plant and if that is super, super triggering for you… I get it.” Appreciate your style: informative and funny!
Learned a lot from this! On my way to propagating my rubber plant cuttings too 😊 New friend here 😊
Thanks for watching, Beth! Make sure you watch the update. It was a learning experience for sure!
Would like to see a video of an update of this propagation. Would like to see how the mother rubber plant looks like now after being cut. Thank you. Love your video btw. 😊
You're in luck! Link in the description!
Thank you very much It was very informative.👍
awesome video
very beautiful plant
Great information!
Hi i just started to propogate my rubber tree im really kinda scared and sad if i lost him well i put it on the water in which i love all my planta in water instead in soil but becouse i watched thia video makes me alive and positive that they can grow thier roots ia a proper time thanks to the guide your really an angel
You gave me the courage to cut my beautiful plant!
How has it gone
Thank you for this and your HAIR is beautiful!
This video was VERY helpful. I have a rubber tree that is very legging and wanted to save the top without having to air layer it. Now I'm confident that I can do it. Thanks for sharing.
Update video coming soon, but I have actually converted to soil propagation since then, but its great to start in water. Don't throw out the base, because it will probably come back!
this was ssssoooooooooo helpful thank you xxxxx
Thank you!
Beautiful plants
Great video! Is it possible to propagate the leaf cuttings only from a Rubber leaf plant? Or do you need the entire stem?!
Good job keep growing be blessed
Thank you for the info mam...Appreciate much...
Please do an update on the cuttings. New subscriber, and thanks for sharing.
Hi, Vaotuau! I did. Link in the description.
GRACIAS!✌️
How long does it take for water propagation to start rooting ? The video is great!!!
Okay I love this video. I did something similar to my rubber plant, had to cut it way back after it went into shock in my house. I am going to play with propagating because my plant needs pruned again. Thank you for showing this!
If you have a spray bottle of water with you when you cut, you can spray the cut and the cutting to stop the bleeding almost instantly and prevent getting it on anything. Be aware that you should wear protection if you have a latex allergy.
Thank you so helpful. I have just cut back my ficus tinneke. Would love to see some progress shots of how your cuttings are doing??
Definitely working on that soon! Stay tuned!
Oh wait! Did you check out the update video in the description?
This was super helpful! I'm going to have a million rubber plants now😅
Nice job. Unless you have extremely bright light, all types of indoor ficus will end up leggy and defoliated. The way out is chop the entire plant in pieces and replant the cuttings and restart it all again.
Your nails are gorgeous!!! length & color 😍
Hi! Thanks for making this video. My rubber plant is like 9 feet tall! Can I cut directly from the top and put it directly in water?
Thanks for this video! I've been looking everywhere for resources on the best way to propagate this tree. Questions, have the roots of the mother plant gotten too big for this pot yet since it's grown so much? When do you repot as opposed to just cutting it back/propagating? Thanks! ❤️
Great question! It has and honestly its on my 'to do' list to repot but cut away some of the root so i can put it in a smaller pot. Now that the plant is smaller it definitely doesn't need that giant root ball to support the growth. As for your question, it's entirely up to you how you want to attack the issue. If you like how your rubber plant is growing and if the roots look healthy no need to do anything. If you're plant is too heavy or tedious to repot you may want to just top dress it with worm castings. Feel free to dm me via insta if you want to ask questions and send pics of said plant!
@@DrunkenHomemaker thank you so much. I just may do that.
great video. I would only add that though F. elastica does produce a large amount of latex sap, that is not where natural rubber comes from. that would be Hevea brasiliensis, the rubber tree.
This is such a helpful video. My rubber tree is 1.5m tall and is just a single stem. It's drooping so I really need to cut it to help new stems to grow. How long did you keep it in the water? It seems like the soil method is better. I live in a tropical country so is the plastic still needed?
I do think water propagation is more difficult with rubber plants. I will be doing an update video soon. If you have higher humidity levels, i would skip the plastic cover and try the soil propagation. You'll just have to check that it's moist a lot more often. Hope that helps!
Hi, please name some plants for vertical garden to grow by hydroponics without a soil, coco peat & any other compost material.
I love this video and your hair style 👌👍🤗👌👌😍
Thank you
Have you ever grafted 2 rubber plants of different species? I would love for you to do that so I can watch and learn. Thanks and God bless!
Thank you for making such a detailed, fun and EASY video! Can’t wait to watch more!!
Hi thanks for lovely video
Thank YOU for taking time to watch!
How often does the potted cutting need watering, and how do you water it?
thank you
Once I have propagated my plants in soil and covered them, what do I do next? When do I have to water them?
Please post when the plant fills in where u severely trimmed it and put stems in water to propagate.
The end result was very triggering indeed! LOL
I tried propagating some full cuttings like that in water and it did not work. The stems roted at the base and no roots were formed. I then cut the roted parts and tried the zip lock bag method. Same thing. Now I'm left with just two leaves in two separate stems so I cut them right below and right above the leaves, and placed the entire stem on water (with the leaves poking out). Here's hoping this is the one that works for me.
New subscriber here, btw :)
Thank you so much for the sub! Update video coming tomorrow. Rubber plants are definitely more stubborn to propagate! I had mixed result as well. I'll be very honest in my update video.
Hopefully this works me lol not much of a green thumb but I did have a plant. 😩😂
can i do the cutting when theres two new leaves that havent turned completely green or normal, still kinda new. thanks!
How many months did the healthy root system show in the water propagation?
How long does the parent plant take to sprout new growth at the cut line
I got several heart attacks looking at you cutting the plant. Please do a follow-up video of these cuttings and the mother plant to give me the courage to cut my plant :D
Hahaha! That's funny! Follow up coming either this week or next!
Do you do anything to the stem you cut? Not the cutting itself for propagation, but the original plant. Do you leave it alone and just clean up the sap or do you do something to it? Thanks for the info
Hi can I know the water propagation how many months to grow the roots ?
How often to change the water for water propegation?thanks
Which time of the year best for water propagation. Please share me the details
Thanks for your video.. i want to see how your mother rubber plant looks now.
Definitely need to work on a update video!
FYI: just put out a video this morning in which i talk about/ show mama plant!
Hi! This video is so educational; thank you! My rubber plant has many small, very vertical stems, with leaves only at the top, therefore, I am looking to propagate it, as in your video. However, I left my boyfriend to water while I was away and now the plant is dehydrated. Do you suggest waiting until it is healthy again before proceeding/stressing it out or is it okay to do so now while the leaves are droopy (not yellow from over hydration)? Thank you!
Definitely wait until it bounces back! Also, check out my update video. I do find them pretty annoying to propagate, bit it would help to start with the healthiest plant possible.
@@DrunkenHomemaker Thank you so much for your response! I truly appreciate it!
Hello i would like to know,i didn't see you wet the plants soil a little before the plastic bag
Hi and Thank you for your Vids..very informative. I have a question.
I recently rescued from the curb tons of Huge Cuttings and I am Stuck! They are beautiful and healthy.
Question: How do I propagate all of them??..they are big and mature cuttings. I am in SW Florida, do i need to do the Greenhouse Jig?? Can I plant them directly in ground??
I appreciate your input. Thank you so so much.
Just to clarify, I think you mean rubber plant cuttings?
If so, Rubber Plants are hardy to your zone (jealous) so you can definitely propagate outdoors. I would just be careful to not put it in full sun while its forming roots. You want to put it somewhere its protected then slowly acclimate it to being in the scorching Florida sun. The leaves can definitely burn if you don't do it slowly.
When do you propogate ...can I do this in February (now) in Canada?
How long did it take to root the branch in water? To root like that
Can we use the leaf for propagation?
Hi, Thank you for the video but I would like to see the result and does your mother plant grow back.
Please let me know
Hi Priyanka, great question! Yes! Momma's doing great and you can check that out on my Instagram. I actually should post a new picture!
Thank you. I saw the pictures. It was great . I appreciate your quick reply.
@@DrunkenHomemaker what's your insta I need help
@@nataliacrocker7342 sorry! I just saw this!
instagram.com/drunkenhomemaker/
how long does it take to root in water and soil?
Do you have to change the water? And how often?
Could I do multiple cuts on the same trunk? Does it need a leaf for it to propagate?
How long did you put the cuttings in the water please?
Thanks I have a variegated fig (c/o my neighbors over hanging branches) just wondering do I have to put a plastic bag over it for soil propagation? I live in a temperate/subtropical climate and I get the green house effect but I would rather not if possible?
I don't think you need to use the plastic bag, try it without and if you're seeing the plant struggling, add it! Hope that helps.
@@DrunkenHomemaker Much appreciated and thanks for your advice.❤
Thanks
Recently I had 2 stem cuttings of the rubber plant and propagate in the water.. I soon realised that heir leaves are curl outwards ... what does this mean?
Hi! How long water propagation takes? Should I use some root harmone as well for fast results? Just did mine and can’t wait to see the results ☺️
Thanks
Do you place the water propagating rubber cutting in a bright area? Thanks!
Bright, indirect light is ideal for propagation!
Do you still water the plant in the soil propagation after you put it inside the ziplock?
Hi I have a question I want to do a water propagation for a ruby variety however I really dont wnt my plant to die of shock how due transition your water cuttings to soil in a way they dont die and how long do water propagation roots take to show up
Hi, Nisha! Definitely check out my update video. I learned a lot from propagating. Good question on the transition. Keep the soil moist until the plant looks healthy then gradually let the soil dry out more and more before watering. Hope that helps. Rubber plants are pretty good at letting you know when they're unhappy, lol.
How long it takes to root in water?
I personally have done the soil prop and it is super easy ..I prefer that way
Yeah, I just did they update video and I completely agree with you!
Quick question, using the water method, how much time does it take for the cutting to grow its roots before it is ready to be planted into soil?
Thank you so much.. i propagated my plant and divided the plant from the root..however the propagated plant has not grown a bit ever since then..n its been 6 months already
Hmmm, does it look healthy? It may just be rebuilding it's root system. Sometimes it does take a while, but see if it looks healthy and if it was put in too big of a pot. That can shock a plant. Good luck!
If I propagate with water only, how often should I change the water? And when I use perlite? T.y.
Hello mam how to maintain ruuber plant thank you
How many days it will take to propogate in water... Do we need to change water... How often?
I haven't prop'd my rubber tree yet, but I'm afraid to cut it! I'd love to share a pic of mine - it's growing great and tall but not much branching out. If I chop off the top of it that's nice and healthy, it will continue to grow on the original plant where I cut, right? I'm too scared! HAH
Yeah! It will branch. I think it's worth it. Even if the cutting doesn't make it, you'll have a better looking mama plant
