How to Repot and Propagate Your Rubber Plant | Ficus Elastica Houseplant

- Here is another houseplant ‘how to’ video for all of you plant lovers and new plant moms and plant dads out there. In this video we are going to be repotting my Ficus Elastica Tineke and Burgundy. They are also known as the Rubber Tree or Rubber Plant.
Ficus Elastica are one of my favourite types of houseplants. They have some of the most beautiful foliage and they are pretty easy to care for even for beginners who has a lot of bright light in their homes.
I’ll also show you guys how to successfully propagate your Rubber Plant from cuttings. Propagation is a great and cost-effective way to make a new plant to give to your friends or family.
I hope you enjoy this video.

I have a rubber tree, that I kept from my mom’s funeral (2007) & this year I decide to take cuttings from it & propagate it. I have 4 rooted & in pots. Looking forward to them growing to the size of the mother plant. They are very pretty houseplants & live a long life.
Perfect to watch on my acid comedown. Thanks, man.
How was the journey
Best comment ever! Hope it was a positive trip!
Damn, I noticed that the only viewers of plant-themed videos are either crazy plant people or people on drugs
Lol, whoever you are…I love you,
Hey, whatever works. 😜
"Tah Dah!!" 😊 That's me when I come home with a new plant 😅 Love it!
Haha that’s riiight. 😆 I’m itching for more ta-dahs 😆

Please explain the soil requirements thanks
Crazy Plant Guy: “Hey Guys, today we’ll be turning this Guy, into this Guy, into this Guy”. This Guy knows how to take care of his Guys.
🤣🤣🤣
Haha ok Bob
@@gofigure4920 Man, that comment hit you hard my friend 😂🤣.
@@gofigure4920 you’re the perfect candidate!
I'm just here for the comments! 😁
Thank you for sharing this! My old rubber tree got stressed and dropped a lot of its lower leaves and I've been wanting to propagate some of it just in case and to create new plant babies from my original guy. You make this look so easy, thank you!
I didn’t realize how beautiful that plant is. We have that tree here in my home and has been a tree since I was born. Now its drying and dying.. :( People are cutting it without our permission and making a profit out of it. Now I’m determined to save our tree... its been in our home for like 3 generations thats why its really big.. and its rare in our place no wonder people come to our home just to cut its branches.. I used to play with its leaves and write on it when I was a child... I didn’t really see how beautiful it is until it is slightly dying... but I know there is still hope. Thank you for this video I am very motivated.
🥺
And see the link that leaves also become tea, you can search on google.
I think I know where you're from. The plants in front of our house have been stolen, leaving them somehow bald and pots broken. People are selfish.
if it's tree generations old, it's probably dying due to old age. if you want to save it, you should probably take cuttings like everyone else, and propagate it. after all, those are genetically identical to the original tree so that is "saving it"
@@mimosveta truuuuee! i've had trials and errors but happily I was able to grow 1 plant from the tree. Ill do more when my break comes. Thank you! ~
This is one of the best videos I've seen about repotting and propagating RT plant!
Just purchased a Burgundy tonight for my birthday and my neurotic brain told me I wouldn't be able to keep it alive. This video makes it looks super easy, though. 🥰 I think I'll be okay now.
Thank you for putting this information together! I just finished my own little experiment with three rubber tree (purple one)leaves. I put two leaves in a clear jar with water to propagate. The third leaf I put in a white plastic cup from a restaurant. The clear was barely showing anything. The plastic cup had two inch root on the leaf. I potted that one. The two left I kept one in clear and the other back in that white cup. One week later there was no roots in clear jar and about an inch of roots on the leaf in white cup. Perhaps clear glass is not the way to go for rooting up leaves. Perhaps they would eventually root but maybe the roots don't like all the light coming through. Maybe you could do a official rooting experiment. I just love plants and flowers! I find all of creation just an amazing gift from God our Creator!
Amen!!!!
P.S. Purple?
You are just amazing with your care of the Rubber plants! Thank you for showing how to properly propagate this plant.
My rubber plant grew x2 that size in one season but I do have a slight advantage. I live in Florida 😁
This was so helpful! I have a burgundy and it hasn’t been growing. I honestly bought it on a whim for it’s beauty without knowing much about the plant. Seeing this video leaves me more confident that I can save it and now take care of it! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber!
Hi there! I am happy for you. Good luck on your Burgundy. I have a two tinekes myself. Also, it terma of growth, I believe rubber trees are really slow growers and as he mentioned, his tineke has grown from small to the size in the video "in the past years" :)
@@jeans629 no they can grow pretty quick sometimes
Thank you so much for the way you explained and showed how to propagate this beautiful plant! Especially, for showing what to expect and what to do later on!
I have been meaning to repot my burgundy rubber tree so this video came at the perfect time!
Your tineke is BEAUTIFUL! It is the perfect specimen of a tree, with leaves from top to bottom. Tineke goals!
Aww. Thank you. Definitely one of my favourite plants I have right now.
Are you selling the leaves of your burgundy ?
Best best best rubber tree video I’ve seen ❤️ Someone gifted me a fresh cutting and put it in soil. I’m taking it out and putting it in water like you said. Thanks!
Nice, good luck.
I just had the courage to prune my rubber plant. Thanks for sharing this video. ❤️
Thanks man! Love how you explain plant things.
Amazing video ! Very helpful and well made ! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏼
Great information. I have one that needs repotting & I wanted to make sure I did it correctly. Mine is a burgundy one.
I’ve already propagated one, but have never repotted the one I’ve had for 2yrs. Thanks
Very very happy to visit your canal.I see your program from Iran.and you are the one who can answer all of my ficus questions.
Thanks alot
Love your Ta Da ! And love the plants too x
Thank you sa idea ❤️😊 magpro propagate kami ng rubber plants this week 😊
Just got one, thank you for this video, it has helped so much!
That burgundy is gorgeous! I hadn't thought about propagating these before for some reason haha
Great Video as always. Ficus elastica is also one of our favorite plants👍🏾👍🏾
I have 4 small rubber plants of various types. This video was very helpful. Love watching your videos!
Wow thank you I LOVE your plants 🌿
Thank you for the time stamp 👏
I've got both ficus & learnt so much from you. Thanks from Malaysia.🌿🇲🇾
Great video!! I love that you have examples of all stages.
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.
Awesome video! Enjoyed the detailed information. Thank you so much!
I found the video very informative and it’s good you show the different steps to take. Thanks
Great advice man. Thanks!
I keep watching your video.. makes me happy.
Thanks! I was inspired and cut my plant that was getting too tall and only had leaves at the top. I added some ground coffee to the soil and left the base of the plant in the sun for a few days and after about 10 days I have a new plant!
I’m having this same issue! You cut off the top and planted that into the pot? Do the branches grow back??
Loved the video!
I just propagated my burgundy rubber plant a few days back and I can already see roots developing in the cuttings... such exciting times! 😀
Oooh so exciting. 😆 Happy planting
Thanks for a thorough video!
Great video! All the info I need to propagate &/or take care of these guys! Thanks
I got me a Ficus Tineke because of you! :D
Thanks for this very informative video, I saved my cuttings from dying, one week now and roots are coming out!
I strongly recommend going to your local Trader Joe's as soon as they open to see if they have any. Today I scored a Burgandy Ficus Elastica with 4 different stems for only $5.99!
Jose Lopez Garcia What?? It’s my dream plant!
Omg I love ❤️ it thank you for sharing.
Such a helpful video! Thank you!!
Thanks for all the info! Just started my porch container garden about five months ago. Love my Ruby and Burgundy, and they've nearly tripled in size. So I was curious if they were ready to graduate from 6" to some 8" pots. But I guess they can wait til next spring then.
Have a cute Tineke too, but she's the latest addition and quite small compared to her older sisters.
Good to hear “tadaaaa”😆😆
I love the way you organize your plants. That Chain of Hearts on your wall looks so stunning in vertical column.
Thank you. I never thought about the vertical column look it does give. I’m thinking of growing another one and hang it upstairs in my bedroom.
@@CrazyPlantGuy 🙌👍😊
This was so helpful, thank you so much for content! You are lovely 😊
Thank you for this! I inherited a burgundy from a funeral years ago. While it was healthy & very tall (over 4ft) it required heavy support. I had never thought to prune it. It has been heavily pruned now to a more stable height. Fingers crossed it takes it well and continues to thrive.
Thanks for the helpful tips and showing the results, too!
Oh my I wish I should have seen your video long time ago! You saved me for not throwing my rubber plants. They are not a cheap plants that’s why I’ve been wanting to save them. I will definitely follow your advice. I will repot my burgundy rubber plant and propagate. Thanks so much for sharing your video! You are the BEST!
Outstanding how to video, thank you!! Bravo 💃🏼 I feel confident in repotting my burgundy now. Yhay!
This was SOOO helpful and it really WORKS! Tried it on my lemon lime with a pothos in a glass jar! Thank you! 😊
Yay. That’s awesome.
Omg, i am learning so much. Thanks much.
Thank you for this ! I didn’t know what my plant was but when you showed the ficus altissima I was like THATS MY PLANT!
Yay. Glad you were able to identify it. It’s a beautiful plant.
Such great information. Thank you. My plant needs much attention and now I know what to do. Thanks again. Stay safe and well
Faith Gibbs Thanks Faith. No better time than to give your plants some attention. Stay safe as well.
Thank you for sharing knowledge in repotting
This is well done!!! Excellent 👍👍👍💝
beautiful! I just got one and I want to know more about how to taking care of it! Thanks your tip!
Perfect video. To the point and great information
Thank you for showing us how to care for that plant
Wow Ganda.. 👍👍👍
Thank you for the wonderful information! Now I know everything I did wrong to propagate my Burgundy 🙃. I might have to start all over. Was hoping to get it to be like yours, bushy so I cut the top out and the part I cut out I just stuck in water instead of cutting into several 😫. Really enjoyed your help on these.
Beautiful Plants!
Beautiful plants.
I love your video!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent! I will follow this.
My burgundy ficus elastica is my pride and joy. I got him as a baby about 2 years ago, and now he's over 4 feet tall. Like yours, he's more bush like, and he puts out new leaves weekly. I have a baby ruby that I'm excited to watch grow too.
That’s awesome. Always good to read thriving plants and how much they’ve grown. 😊
Very beautiful plants I love rubber plants
im in love with his Teneke
Also, thank you so much for uploading videos in this difficult time, really appreciate the distraction!
Averil Thanks...it also helps distract me and gets me through my days. 😊 Stay safe.
Thank you for sharing propagating rubber plants.
Tried this a month ago. They’re in water right now and doing well! Thanks for the guidance. What’s the update on your stem propagations from water to soil? What do they look like now?! :)
Thank you! Very nice video, you answered all my questions about ficus elastica 😄 i go and propagate my new tineke now, I love it, but it has bent a lot in a shop, AND I can make more plants with it 🙃💞 now i need few more pots and a shelf 😄
Awesome vid thanks ... just got a burgundy ficus the other day now going to pickup a tineke
really informative. THANK YOU A LOT.
Wow! That’s exactly what I needed to know. Purchased a diseased plant from a lady and I don’t like it, so will propagate all the leaves. 😌
Very cool! Enjoying your channel! Great info.
I love this video!
Your ficuses (ficii?) are breathtakingly gorgeous. Their leaves are astounding. I often comment on ficus elastica videos because these plants irritate the heck out of my eyes and make them red and itchy and give me asthma too. When I started suffering from these symptoms, I knew it had to be something new in the environment. I put the two ficuses outside and cleaned around the house, and problem gone in about 2 weeks. Something to do with the natural rubber/latex I guess. I even start to itch when I pass clusters of them in shops because the particles are airborne. Just thought I'd mention it in case someone is your viewers' environments are suffering from mysterious red/itchy eyes and breathing probs. I donated the plants to a new home. I still miss how beautiful they were. Never had a reaction to any other plants - not even dumb canes or English ivy (2 other plants that I banished while trying to find the allergy, but have since welcomed back).
Oh wow. Thanks for sharing that info, I never thought about the latex and reaction. Im sure you missed them and know that they’re being loved and cared for. 🙂
Super helpful!!
Beautiful colour of rubber plants
Rewatch! Looking forward to propogating my ficus plants someday. They are still babies but it's exciting to think about.
Thank you for your reply. More power.
Thank you I always enjoy your channel.
Remy Pabila Thanks Remy.
I love the idea. Thanks for sharing this method. I enjoyed so much watching.
Glad you found it helpful.
This is my first spring with most of my plants. None of them totally stopped growing over the winter so I thought their growth rate was just the norm, but boy was I wrong! Now that it's spring, some of my plants have just exploded, including my burgundy rubber tree!! The newest leaf is bigger than any of the others by far, and the new leaf spike just keeps getting taller and taller and isn't even starting to open yet. SO exciting!!!
Exactly, so glad to hear your first winter and spring experience and seeing the difference. So cool right. 😆
Very good info. Thanks.
My propagation just sprouted its first leaf! Thanks for the help❤
Yay. Congrats! 🥳
Ohhh, thank you for the idea with the Pothos! I'll try it next Year together with my Mulberry
Awesome thanks for sharing 🌱
Man, I am so jealous! I've had a ficus elastica ruby for almost two years now and it has grown like 5 leaves at most (and much smaller than the previous ones). At first I had kept it in its original pot, which was too small and couldn't retain water, so I guessed that was the reason, but after I repotted it (it's been more than a year now) nothing much changed.. It grows like 3 leaves each summer and then stops. Plus, its old leaves are still droopy from when it used to be in its nursery pot. It's in front of a south facing window, so it gets bright light, but no direct sunlight. For a small period I put it outside during the summer to get sunlight, but it was probably too much and some leaves got burnt and it lost all its pink too, so I put it back indoors.. I also fertilize it every now and then, but I don't know what else to do. It was so pretty when I bought it, but now it looks droopy and sad and DOESN'T GROW, lol!
Thank you for this video!
Thanks for a great info.
I love planting.
Thanks for the technique demonstration to propagate Ficus elastica.
Thanks, this is so helpful 😍
um loving watching this keep up the good work buddy
I inherited a 6-foot tall scragley ficus robusta about 3 years ago. I tidied it up and propegated about 5 different pieces. Only one took though but is now about 3 foot tall and I’m getting a new huge leaf almost every other week. By the way, I live in Chicago and this was my first attempt with a rubber plant/bush/tree. I’ve got 3 other plants that are over 25 years old including a peace lily and an umbrella tree. I’ve killed my almost 20-year old asparagus fern at least a dozen times and it still keeps coming back.
Beautiful Plants.
