- Botanical Name: Ficus elastica
- Common Name(s): Rubber Plant, Rubber Tree, Rubber Fig
- Description: Native to India and Southeast Asia, the Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is perfect for those looking for a small indoor tree with stunning dark, shiny leaves. In the wild, it grows up to around 200ft tall, and its roots are used in India to form living bridges. It won't do well in low light spaces, so place in bright indirect light. Water to keep soil moist at all times. Ficus elastica is a source of latex that is toxic to the skin, and poisonous if taken internally, so pet-owners and those allergic to latex should be cautious.
- Plant it in a well-draining soil mix.
- Apply a houseplant fertilizer every two weeks during active growth.
- Water thoroughly but allow the soil to slightly dry out between waterings.
- Allow it to receive bright but indirect light.
- Keep the temperature between 60°F to 80°F.
- Repot the plant if it becomes rootbound.
