Burgundy Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica)
$28.00
Wine dark leaves with a lacquered shine. The Burgundy Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) grows deep maroon foliage so polished it reflects the window back at you.
It anchors a room the way dark furniture does, giving every lighter plant around it something to contrast against.
Burgundy Rubber Plant care
- Light: Bright light keeps the burgundy deep instead of drab.
- Water: Water once the top quarter of the pot has dried.
- Clean: A damp cloth monthly keeps the mirror finish.
- Pets: Toxic sap, best beyond pet reach.
- Growth: A few feet per year toward a proper indoor tree.
How tall will a Burgundy Rubber Plant grow indoors?
Six to eight feet is realistic in a bright room, and it takes pruning gracefully if you want it shorter and bushier. Cut just above a leaf and it branches from there.
