What to do if the rubber tree grows too tall

1. Shorten

To be honest, it is not very common for it to grow tall, which means that this unusual situation needs to be dealt with, because if the plant grows taller, its nutrients will be consumed and there will be problems with its future growth.

So we have to cut off the branches and leaves on the top, so that we can control its vertical growth speed and allow it to grow horizontally on its own. Of course, we don't have to worry about problems with its growth if we cut it short. As long as we can provide it with the water and fertilizer it needs, it will be able to grow without problems.

2. Topping

We can also control its growth by pinching it. After pinching, make sure its height is about the same as the diameter of the pot. It can be lower or higher according to your preference, but don't make it too high, otherwise it will consume a lot of nutrients and make it difficult for it to grow normally.

3. Fertilization

Generally speaking, the excessive use of flower fertilizer is the main reason why it grows too tall, so when adding fertilizer, you must pay attention to the amount applied and the time interval between two applications, and do not allow too much flower fertilizer to accumulate in the soil. Of course, normal fertilization and watering are still indispensable, otherwise it will not grow too tall but will not grow at all.
