My rubber tree has suffered a few falls and hasn’t had new leaves in awhile. She is putting out a new one now but she looks very leggy. Should I propagate her?

Put wet moss over the higher nodes (wherever you’d like to cut to) and wrap it on with plastic wrap and form the roots before chopping her.

You could try keiki paste? My rubber tree had a fall a few months ago too and smashed the top shoot, I used some paste and now I have a lot of new growth
