Ficus elastica ‘Burgundy’

Ficus ‘Burgundy’ is bold, glossy, and beautifully moody. Its thick, leathery leaves emerge in deep green that reads almost black, with rich burgundy undertones and dramatic red sheaths on new growth. It’s a strong, sculptural plant that adds instant presence—clean lines, high contrast, and that unmistakable rubber plant shine.

Ficus elastica

Ficus elastica, commonly known as Rubber Plant, are sturdy tropical houseplants valued for their large, glossy leaves and upright growth. They’re reliable growers when given bright light and consistent care. Once settled into a space, they prefer stability—minimal moving and steady conditions keep them happiest.

Caring for Ficus elastica ‘Burgundy’

 Light Needs

Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain deep colouring and healthy growth. It can tolerate moderate light, but avoid harsh direct sun which may scorch the leaves.

 Watering

Allow the top several centimetres of soil to dry between waterings. Ficus prefer evenly moist soil but dislike sitting in water, so ensure proper drainage.

 Feeding

Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter as growth naturally slows.
