The Burgundy Rubber Plant is a popular choice for indoor gardening, prized for its attractive burgundy or dark red-colored foliage. Here are some key features and care tips for Ficus elastica 'Burgundy':

  1. Leaves: Ficus burgundy, like other Rubber Plants, has large, leathery leaves that are typically dark green. The distinctive feature of this cultivar is the burgundy or dark red coloration that develops on the leaves, especially in good light conditions.

  2. Light: Place the Ficus burgundy in bright, indirect light for optimal growth. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it may not maintain its vibrant color as well in lower light.

  3. Watering: Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out before watering. Rubber Plants prefer a slightly moist but not waterlogged environment. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to let the soil dry out between waterings.

  4. Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Rubber Plants are sensitive to drafts and temperature extremes.

  5. Humidity: Ficus elastica can adapt to average indoor humidity levels, but it appreciates higher humidity. Regular misting or placing a humidifier nearby can be beneficial, especially in dry environments.

  6. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix formulated for houseplants or a blend that includes peat, perlite, and pine bark is suitable.

  7. Fertilization: Feed your Ficus burgundy with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter when growth slows.

  8. Pruning: Prune to shape the plant and remove any leggy or unhealthy growth. Rubber Plants respond well to pruning and can be shaped according to your preferences.

Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is appreciated for its dark and rich foliage, making it a popular choice for adding color and style to indoor spaces. With proper care, it can thrive as an attractive and low-maintenance houseplant.
