I think it's time to prune it back again and start a new pot. (I've already given 2 of them away.)

There's a tree growing in my home.

^ I hate even dusting the damned things. I'm not about to stand there and polish them.
If we could get it through customs without breaking the law, I'd send you one.
When I rescued it from the India Food House over 10 years ago, it was only about a half metre (half yard) tall. It's grown a bit since then.

'Rescued' is the word for it. For years, it stood just inside the door to the restaurant in the small foyer. It was neglected by the restaurant staff and brutalised by the restaurant patrons.
When the restaurant was renovated, the rubber tree was set out the back door where it got full summer sun most of the day. It pretty much fried out there and was even more neglected than when it was in the foyer.
The restaurant owner (who I've known since the late 70s and is now my landlord) was going to toss it in the dump so I asked if I could have it. It took a lot of time and TLC, but I nursed it back to health and what you see above is how it looks today.
Ironically, my landlord asked if I would root a few cuttings for him. I did and took it over to him this past May. His rubber tree returned to him.
This ivy could use a bit of a trim again as well. Ya think?

There's a potted plant on our upper staircase that's well over twice my height - say about 12-14 feet tall. 
Not only that, it bends to one side, and used to have a habit of falling over onto the stairs.
It's now tied to the wall with string. Don't know what it is, but it looks very similar to what's in your first pic.

Anything like it here? (The page is in Russian with many Latin names.)

^ I hate the ones like the dragon tree. They grow into the sun, but they don't lean. The tree itself bends every time you turn it to allow it away from the light to allow it to straighten itself up. I've never been able to grow one that grows straight up. I've tried to grow two of them and, in the end, they both grew all twisty and crooked like this:

it looks like your rubber tree needs a bit more light - the leaves should be BIGGER on that old a tree.
as for the dracena - that 's a fairly normal growth pattern - but that particular pic - looks like it could use more water !!
CHICKEN MAN -- why did you use the RUSSIAN version of TOP TROPICALS ?
they have their whole website in ENGLISH, ya know? I have bought many really fine plants from them (they're in Florida) - and they are very nice people to deal with tooo !!!
****looks for rare trees to lure JOCKBOY closer to my house to "polish the leaves" *******

The only way the rubber tree could get more light is if it was outside.
And the dragon tree isn't mine. I 'borrowed' the photo from the net.

GSDX - did you propagate the Rubber tree by just cuttings? they're ususally done by air-layering..................i'm just saying....
all this talk about rooting cuttings and packing peat moss tightly around hard stems is increasing my blood flow...

They weren't even cuttings. I had to prune it back, just like I have to prune it back again. I didn't want to just throw them away so I stuck them in a container of water and was surprised to find roots growing within a few weeks. I don't want to wait the few years air layering could take.
The plant was out of control when I took custody of it. Being in the restaurant with people walking past it day after day, most of the branches had been broken off at least once and there were sprouts and branch-offs growing all over the place.

OK - For the very first time, I've just tried posting a video shot with my camera.

Can someone tell me whether you can watch this?
If you can, then our plant has just become my first video star!
(and I'd NEVER have guessed something crazy like that a few hours ago)

I watched it, too, but I don't have any idea what it is either. Sorry. Maybe take a picture of it to a local plant and floral shop?

ChickenGuy's plant in his video looks like a Schefflera.
I've got a few. I keep mine trimmed down to about 3-4 feet high. Yearly pruning some of the upper branches so that it bushes and branches out rather than just growing tall, straight up...and gangly. The cuttings are easy to propagate too...just cut off the top (6inches or so...needs nodes to sprout the new roots) and stick the stem in water to root. I've only had luck rooting it in the spring time though...when I've tried other times of the year, the cutting died.

There may be a tree growing in your house.
But yesterday I pulled an entire tree out of the ground. Well, it WAS only about 6 inches tall, it had just started...

I used to have a bilimbi tree and a carambola tree before they have to be chopped when my house was rebuilt. Sigh. Now the only tree I have is a magnolia tree which is still lower than me and haven't flowered yet.
Ding ding. We have a winner! Here, we call that an umbrella tree, due to the leaf conformations. Luckily, yours is still short; there's one on my neighbourhood growing as high as 6 metres (about 20 feet)!
Why? The problem's only in autumn, right?
