I found a HUGE tree that I was unfamiliar with and cut it down. Found it to be a rubber tree and it only gave me 2 saplings. I planted them, but they haven't grown yet. What have I done wrong? Should I use more then 1 sapling?
 
This is the Redpower 2 Rubber Tree. The Wood can be extracted for rubber. Listen to Lambert for how to grow it, I don't want to be redundant and say exactly what Lambert said.
 
You already said how to grow it, and so there was nothing more to say than what it did.
Try bonemealing it.
 
I have a question for you, how on earth did you only get 2 saplings!? Whenever I cut down one of those RP Rubber Trees I get an inventory full of wood and an inventory full of saplings!
 
Wow. Me neither, actually. I just looked them up, and I didn't realize those were rubber trees.

I think I'll stick with the normal sized trees for rubber for now... but maybe at some point I'll set up an MFR farm for these things, if I need a ridiculous amount of rubber.
 
yup nice source of rubber their is also an oak tree that looks just like it except for the leaves

For what do you need so much rubber? I've got 50 stacks of propolis and rising, which can be forestry-centrifugated to sticky resin.
 
Can we stay on topic please. And I got a stack and a half, didn't see the others where I placed them. But it's taking a LOOOONG time to grow.
 
By design they take a very long time to grow as a balancing feature, just make sure they have enough room and it will grow when it feels like it.
