Burgundy Ficus - Burgundy Rubber Tree

Ficus elastica 'Burgundy'

Burgundy Rubber Plant is a particularly fun houseplant because it has dark purple-green leaves that are very shiny.  You can tell that this plant needs more light when it stays low and bushy instead of growing tall.

• Light: Direct Sunlight – This plant loves direct sunlight so place it by an window that gets direct, natural light for a least a portion of the day.
• Water: Thirsty – This plant can only go 1 to 2 weeks without water so check weekly and water when the top two inches of soil dry out.
• Tips: Like many houseplants, it would rather be too dry than too wet so if you are unsure about whether it needs water, wait a day or two and check again.
