How to cut down the head of a rubber tree

Rubber tree suitable for beheading

When beheading rubber trees, we need to observe which rubber trees are suitable for beheading.

First of all, we must pay attention to the growth status of the rubber tree. Generally, the plant must be strong, so as to reduce the risk and avoid its death.

The rubber tree must be kept in a growing state so that if it is beheaded, the plant can grow. Generally, beheading can be done in summer, because summer is the vigorous growth season of rubber trees. If beheading is done at this time, the growth will be very vigorous, the budding time will be shorter, and it will be easy to survive.

In fact, after determining that the rubber tree is suitable for beheading, you can start beheading it.

Choose the ideal height, and then check if there are any buds on the lower side. If there are buds, they are easier to germinate and survive.

Just use a special pruning knife to cut the branches and cut off the branches. Note that the wound should be sealed with wax to prevent it from getting infected and dying.

After the rubber tree is beheaded, we can usually see buds in about half a month, and it will grow well in about 2 months.
