Rubber plant needs help

kflo
11 years ago

Hello-

I inherited this rubber plant about 2 years ago and it struggled for a while... It seems to be very healthy and growing great, but it is quite top-heavy!

It is only about 18" tall, it is 5 little skinny trunks coming out of the soil, which are bare about 6" up then it has all these big happy looking leaves bushing out all over the top. The branch is actually thicker towards the top of the branch than the base.

The base of all these stems or trunks (not sure what you call them?) are extremely puny and will not hold them up on their own so I have a stake i the pot as well.

I'm afraid to do anything with it as it took over a year for it really come to life! Do I need to prune, trim, repot??

Thanks!
