FICUS RUBBER PLANT BURGUNDY 3 gal

Elevate your indoor space with the striking beauty of the Ficus Rubber Plant 'Burgundy'! This popular houseplant is a true statement piece, prized for its large, glossy leaves that unfurl in a stunning display of deep burgundy, nearly black, with contrasting red midribs and hints of green. New growth often emerges with vibrant red and pink hues, adding to its dynamic appeal. The Ficus 'Burgundy' is an easy-care plant that adds a sophisticated, tropical touch to any room.

This impressive houseplant can grow quite large, reaching 6 to 10 feet tall indoors with a spread of 2 to 3 feet, though it can be pruned to maintain a desired size. It thrives in bright, indirect light, making it perfect for a well-lit room or near a window with filtered sun. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun which can scorch its beautiful leaves. While no houseplant is truly "animal-resistant" if a pet is determined, the Ficus elastica produces a milky sap that can be mildly irritating if ingested, so it's best to keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.

To ensure your Ficus 'Burgundy' thrives and maintains its vibrant foliage, plant it in a well-draining potting mix. When repotting or refreshing the soil, a top layer of Watters Premium Mulch can be beneficial for houseplants, helping to retain moisture in the pot, suppress any stray weeds, and provide a slow release of organic matter as it breaks down. For continuous healthy growth and deep, rich leaf color, feed your Ficus Rubber Plant with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. Apply this fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the spring and summer growing seasons, and reduce frequency in fall and winter when growth slows.
