One of my bosses offered me a cutting of his wonderfully large rubber plant. Oh course I won't pass it up... but I have no clue where to cut it nor how to get it to root.
Any suggestions?

Well, you know me by now -- I say NEW EXPERIMENT! And air layer 3 or 4 at a time... Then have to find friends and family who would take them off my hands. I guess I've NEW EXPERIMENTED with air layering rubber plants... Oh, 5 or 6 times over the years... I try again when I've forgotten what it was like....
Last time it backfired because my kids said they wanted to keep ALL the babies.
I kept and chopped down the mother plant to play with it for Bonsai. It almost seems unlikely, but apparently, they respond well to leaf miniaturization techniques (a NEW EXPERIMENT! )

But she's got high hopes... she's got high hopes
She's got high Applestar pie in the sky hopes
So any time you're getting low
'Stead of letting go,
Just remember that ant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
and just think I'm 47 tomorrow
