Advice on plant

[josho495]

Hi all,

Not much of a green thumb.
I have this plant (not sure what it is) and will be repotting it today into a larger pot.
I noticed there are no leaves in the middle. Should I cut at the base above the new regrowth or do nothing?

Thank you.

Location: Gold Coast, Australia.

It is a Rubber Tree, Ficus elastica. Cut it anywhere you want new branches to start. You can even stick the cut piece(s) in another pot to start a new plant.
