Ich habe diesen Gummi -Baum vor ungefähr einem Jahr auf dem Markt bekommen und er wächst jetzt sehr schnell, da es Sommer ist. Es gibt neue Blätter auf fast jedem Zweig. Die höchsten Zweige berühren jetzt die Decke. Wo schneide ich und pflanze Stecklinge eine schlechte Idee wieder in den Topf? Ich wünschte, ich müsste nicht schneiden, ich will es größer 😅

I would just cut the two big ones down to the level of the others. It will promote new growth and make the tree more bushy

Is it holding you hostage? 😭
An alternate option to trimming is to train it to grow sideways since you’re out of vertical space. It’s easy to do on the newer bendy branches but if you have any areas where the truck is more woody it probably won’t work.
Even if it is an inconvenience, that plant looks amazing.
Try air layering first. Then you can have more rubber trees. I found a quick video tutorial for you. Just do the air layering just above where you want to prune. As you will be cutting the stem off below the roots once they develop. https://youtu.be/6c9fT5IrI1g?feature=shared
These plants are very tough. You can go ahead and slash it where you seem fit as long as you provide water and sun it will grow. I have a bunch of these outside and these overpower (and kill ) any other surrounding plants.Also the can grow to be huge trees. Like 30 feet high and wide.
Nice and healthy. 🪴♥️✨

This Tineke looks like it’s holding on for dear life lol
Cut it near the base. It should bounce back
I would replace it with a Monstera Delicosa ☘️
As was suggested, chop it up and make more plants. It’s fun to offer lil plants to people that deliver your packages/whoever you can.
-If you decide to plant with cuttings, make sure you don’t do LONG branches with several leaves. Each cutting should have a branch with 2-3 leaf nodes and I recommend cutting the leaves off but leaving 1-2 leaves.
If you don’t want to be bothered with all that, sure: cut it way down.
Nice job on the plant by the way!
The variegated one: sorry, I’m a freak. The variegation in leaves of the ubiquitous white/green: just not a fan of. I can be a hypocrite here and there (I have a few personal exceptions to my bleh) but that’s just me. I see people in all sorts of threads tripping over themselves for a white/green leafed whatever so *I* am the freak here I think.
Thanks for the thread. Looked up some stuff based on comments, laughed some, learned a few things, etc. Good times all around.
Ah, the hell with it. Why not cut a hole in the ceiling and let it grow……lol. They do get big…
If you have the space outside, maybe make it an outside plant.

IME I usually cut if it’s taking over my preferred space for it because I can make more babies and this big plant will branch out and grow in a more uniform shape. Goodluck 💚🪴
See the long ones? Trim those shorter. 😉
*dude for scale 😆
Ha – no tips, but check out one of my posts for my rubber tree! It’s two stories tall!!
I need advice bc my rubber tree I’ve had for 2 yrs is no where near this 😂 how’d u do that? 😂😭
