The Ficus Elastica Burgundy plant is not only strikingly beautiful but also low maintenance. These gorgeous plants – known commonly as ‘rubber plants’ – add a distinctive, tropical flair to any space. They add dramatic height to your space as well, and can grow to be quite large even indoors! A special note: this plant is toxic to pets, so keep an eye on your furry friends!
Water weekly during the summer and switch to every 8-10 days during winter. Give this Ficus some vertical space because she sure loves growing tall.
Rubber plants like bright light and a lot of it, but not direct sunlight as this can tarnish the vibrancy of the leaves. During the summer you should keep the soil moist and occasionally mist the leaves to add more humidity to them. The more light this plant gets, the more vibrant the maroon color of the leaves!
