- Botanical Name: Ficus elastica
- Common Name(s): Variegated Rubber tree, Ficus Elastica Ruby
- Description: Native to tropical regions of India and Malaysia, Ficus Ruby Pink is a hardy, vibrant evergreen plant with red-pink and white variegation. Care is similar to other rubber plants, but the variegation requires more light than the 'Burgundy' variety. 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.
- Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’ needs rich, well-draining soil. Keep its soil evenly moist but only water when the topmost layer has dried. Bright, indirect light is crucial. Humidity is not an issue but temperatures below 60℉ (16℃) are undesirable. Feed your plant monthly from spring to summer.
