Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is a deeply colorful, yup, burgundy form of rubber tree. This tropical plant features large, glossy leaves in a deep shade of burgundy, providing a beautiful contrast to other greenery in your home or office. The color eventually deepens into a dark green, almost black color, with red veining and pink stipules (at base of leaf stalks). This plant pairs well with other tropical plants like monsteras, alocasias, or elephant ears. With its striking foliage and relatively easy-to-care-for nature, Ficus 'Burgundy' is sure to become a standout piece in your indoor jungle, adding eye-catching vertical dimension. Ficus 'Burgundy' prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It's important to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Use a pebble tray or humidifier if your home humidity is low. You can feed with a houseplant food in spring.
