Description
Ficus Burgundy, also known as Ficus elastica ‘Burgundy’ or Burgundy Rubber Plant, is a bold houseplant known for its thick, glossy leaves in deep green, burgundy, and nearly black tones. Its upright growth habit and dramatic foliage make it a great statement plant for living rooms, offices, plant corners, and bright indoor spaces.
Light Requirements
For best color and growth, place Ficus Burgundy in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light will help maintain deeper foliage color and stronger growth. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Ficus Burgundy prefers a consistent watering routine but does not like to sit in soggy soil. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root rot.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant prefers warm indoor temperatures and average to moderate humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 60°F. Wiping the leaves occasionally can help keep the foliage glossy and allow the plant to photosynthesize properly.
Pet Safety
Ficus Burgundy is not considered pet-safe and can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. Its sap may also cause skin irritation, so keep it out of reach of pets and children.
Best For
Ficus Burgundy is best for plant owners who want a bold, low-maintenance statement plant with glossy dark foliage, upright growth, and a modern tropical look.
