I have two rubber plants (trees?) That are growing quite well. I think I want to prune them and start other plants before they get way too big. They aren't very bushy and full but the leaves are very healthy. One of them has a red swell growing on the side - is it trying to start a new plant?

I read that I can cut off 12" or so with leaves attached to start a new cutting, but the leaves on my rubber plants have such long loping stems I'm not sure that would work? Air layer???? Thank you for the help.
