Wondering about any recommendations for my rubber plant. She actually seems happy now, new growth coming in - but she’s sooooo spindly. Would you recommend I do a top cut or would that damn the rest of it? Wondering if there’s any way to get the stem my part to push out foliage? Thanks for any input - always learning. 🌱 🙏 P.S. this was watering day so just finished bottom watering, she sits under grow lights 12 hrs a day.

    I scored mine and used some keiki cloning paste. It took a few months but lots of new leaves came in.

    I would cut the top off and propagate it into the same pot allowing the bottom part to grow some side shoots.

      Ok, thanks! Will it still be healthy enough with no foliage to push out new leaves on a bare stem?

    I chopped the top and stripped all the leaves off mine 2 weeks ago. I wanted it to branch and give it a tree like look. Just water and care for it like it’s a beautiful full plant… lol till it actually turns into one.
