DESCRIPTION
For Rubber Plant lovers, its all about the retro-chic wide and glossy leaves. Ficus elastica Burgundy boasts a range of colours from a rich burgundy to deep red foliage. Under lower light levels, the leaves turns almost purple or black.
The rubber plant prefers bright, indirect light and watering of about once every 7-10 days when at least the top 50% of the soil is dry. Overwatering it can cause stress and leaf drop. But the good news is you can adjust the watering as necessary and the plant will be able to recover in time.
It is also best to clean the rubber plants leaves regularly with a soft cloth or sponge to keep it glossy and dust-free.
