Ficus Elastica 'Burgundy'

It was so dark it read as almost black across the room. One guest called it the most serious plant she'd ever met, and meant it as a compliment.

Care

• Botanical Name: Ficus elastica
• Common Name(s): Rubber Plant, Rubber Tree, Rubber Fig
• Description: Native to India and Southeast Asia, the Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is perfect for those looking for a small indoor tree with stunning dark, shiny leaves. It won't do well in low light spaces, so place in bright indirect light. Water to keep soil moist at all times. Ficus elastica is a source of latex that is toxic to the skin, and poisonous if taken internally, so pet-owners and those allergic to latex should be cautious.
