Hi! I have a rubber plant which is doing great except its started growing sideways more than upright. I'd like it to grow up not sideways so I thought about removing the two pieces top right and bottom right which have grown quite far out. I thought about snapping them off and putting them in water and hoping they grow new roots. Would that be ok?

Yes, that's the solution.

I would remove the side branch to retain the plants form. They will root in water quite readily.

Thanks a lot. I just chopped 3 branches off, it was quite emotional :-/

They are branches. It looks as though they are reaching for the light. Try turning the plant occasionally so it gets the light all round.
