How long do Rubber plants take to grow roots during propa...
It has been almost a month since I cut this rubber plant’s top trying to propagate but there seems to be no visible growth. Thoughts? #RubberPlant #Propagation

@SirStretchberry Rooting will generally occur in 3-4 weeks but some plants will take longer. When the roots are 1-2 inches long or longer the cutting is ready to be potted up. here is a website with more info: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://plantura.garden/uk/houseplants/rubber-plant/propagating-rubber-plants%23:~:text%3DMake%2520sure%2520to%2520keep%2520the,put%2520it%2520in%2520a%2520pot.&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwi476iAvpuJAxWbRDABHYUoO1UQFnoECBAQBQ&usg=AOvVaw2vKWGIQkYo74_XXqErxgx3 Happy Growing
If you have a pothos, try adding a few cuttings of that in! I’ve seen a lot of people saying they produce excess rooting hormone so it speeds up the growth of other plant roots, and when I had some cuttings that hadn’t shown roots after a couple of weeks and added some golden pothos, they grew nice healthy roots within the week! Could’ve just been luck, but it can’t hurt to try :P
Happy propping!

@Ms.Persnickety Very interesting article thank you! Looks like none of those methods really mentioned putting the stem in water to wait out for roots before planting.
The methods they show require 25 deg weather (it is currently spring in Melbourne and we’re seeing those temperatures only barely rn). my stem is too long to put a plastic bag over as well?
Do you suggest I put them in the potting soil? I only have indoor plant soil atm and now the other seedling soil mentioned in the article too…. any tips on also cutting costs/ investing more into this plant or do you think that’s the only best way and highly recommended?

@ForestCave Ohh ! Definitely do not own pothos but can i buy rooting hormone and chuck that in the water?
@SirStretchberry first step: buy a pothos 😂😂 but I really don’t have a bunch of experience with rooting hormone! I just did a google search and some people say to dip it in the hormone, let it dry overnight, and stick it in the water (this is talking about a fresh cutting so not sure if that would alter anything) and some people say it doesn’t do anything. I’ve also seen some people recommend dipping in cinnamon but that’s probably just cause people say cinnamon can do anything (and I’m not sure they’re wrong 😂)
@SirStretchberry You know, I’ve never propagated my plants. I always clip them off and stick them in the dirt and they’ve always did fine. My family tells me that I have a green thumb. So what I do might not work for the next person. I suggest you try it. 🤷♀️
@BestSulluspurge lucky that you’re a green thumb! I’m seriously considering doing this!!
