Rubber plant not propping roots


Hello all,

I wanted to hydro prop a rubber plant from branch, but it has failed to give away roots for more than a month. I cut the branch diagonal, cleared few lower leaves, changed its water 6-7 times over a month, staying in a not direct- sunlight but bright room but its stem got brown & leaves started to curl, even though the tip of the branch keeps on growing in a slow pace.

Any advice to make it soil planting ready is much appreciated🪴.

  1. Rubber plants prop slowly and don’t always prop well, and in my experience don’t enjoy water propping.

    You might be better off trying it in a 1 inch pot with gravely soil, even then it may take months. I’ve found the most reliable is air layering, though it is more finicky.
