FICUS RUBBER PLANT BURGANDY 6 IN.

Thinking about adding a statement piece to your indoor jungle? Look no further than the Ficus Robusta 'Burgundy'! This stunning rubber plant boasts deep, glossy, almost black-burgundy leaves that unfurl with a vibrant reddish tint, bringing a touch of sophisticated drama to any room. It's a fast-growing beauty that can reach up to 10 feet tall indoors, creating a captivating vertical accent.

The Ficus 'Burgundy' thrives in bright, indirect light, making it perfect for a spot a few feet from a south or west-facing window, or even in an east-facing window. Just be sure to avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch its lovely foliage. While rubber plants are generally considered mildly toxic to pets if ingested due to their milky sap, the 'Burgundy' variety is often found to be unappealing to curious nibblers because of its tough, leathery leaves. However, it is always best to keep any houseplant out of reach of pets if you are concerned.

When it's time to repot your Ficus 'Burgundy', choose a container only a couple of inches larger in diameter and fill it with Watters Potting Soil. This local blend ensures proper drainage and aeration, which are crucial for healthy root development. For a thriving plant with vibrant foliage, consider feeding it monthly during the growing season with Urban Gardener's Super Growth Elixir for a balanced foliar feed, or Fertilome's All Purpose Houseplant Food if you prefer a traditional granular approach. Remember, a happy plant is a healthy plant!
