Ficus elastica 'Burgundy', commonly known as the Burgundy Rubber Tree, is a striking houseplant celebrated for its glossy, dark green leaves with deep red mid-veins. This cultivar adds a touch of tropical elegance to indoor spaces.

Key Characteristics:

  • Foliage: The leaves are large, leathery, and glossy, with a rich burgundy hue that deepens as they mature. New growth emerges with a reddish tint, gradually transitioning to the characteristic dark green with red veins.

  • Growth Habit: Typically grows to about 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) indoors, with a bushy, upright form. In its native habitat, it can reach up to 100 feet (30 meters) tall.

Cultivation and Care:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, excessive exposure may cause leaf burn.

  • Watering: Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for houseplants or tropical plants.

  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is sufficient. If the air is very dry, occasional misting can help.
