What to Do If Your Rubber Plant Grows Too Tall? Learn the Correct Way to Handle It
For most plants, growing tall is a good thing, but sometimes when plants that shouldn't naturally grow tall do so, it's not such a good thing. For example, the rubber plant (Ficus elastica) can sometimes grow very, very tall, so what should you do then? We can simply cut it short from the top by pruning off the branches and leaves at the top, or we can pinch out its growing tips to control its growth, but the most important thing is to reduce the amount of fertilizer applied, so as to directly eliminate the possibility of it growing too tall through its nutrient supply.

What to do if your gardenia grows too tall? Learn the correct way to handle it
When this happens, the main reason is that it has not been pruned for too long. For this plant, pruning is very important. Moreover, it must be done at the right time. First, in spring. Cut off the overly long branches, as well as the leggy flowering shoots. Second, from May to July, another pruning is needed to encourage the sprouting of branches, and it can also keep it from growing too tall. In addition, one more pruning is needed after the flowers fade. There is also another reason: too much fertilizer, which causes the plant to grow leggy, so it can be adjusted appropriately.
