Rubber trees cut off the slender branches that grow in vain and let the remaining thick branches spread and grow. If you don't pinch the top in time at seedling stage, a trunk will easily grow all the way up, but it is not easy to grow branches. When it grows to a certain height, it will not only take root unsteadily, but also affect its ornamental value.

Rubber trees grow new leaves and can be topped at any time. After topping, timely supplement fertilizer and treat the wound. The terminal bud can germinate continuously, so that the main branch is elongated continuously, while the lateral bud is in a dormant state, and the lateral branch cannot be extracted.

After pruning, when the rubber tree grows vigorously, start to control the watering times, let the rubber tree dry, and then give a small amount of water when the branches and leaves are soft.
