Ficus Elastica Ruby

Ficus Elastica Ruby

Ficus Elastica Ruby is a striking Rubber Plant variety celebrated for its vibrant variegation in shades of pink, cream, and green. Each leaf is a unique work of art, with bold patterns and soft blush tones that brighten any indoor space. New growth often emerges with deep pink hues, gradually maturing into a stunning mix of colors.

With its upright growth habit and show-stopping foliage, Ruby makes a dramatic statement as a focal point plant. It thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vibrant coloration, though it can adapt to slightly lower light with more subtle variegation.

Beyond its beauty, Ficus Elastica Ruby is also a hardy, low-maintenance houseplant that offers air-purifying benefits. Over time, it can grow into a small indoor tree, adding height, texture, and subtle color to your home.

Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vivid variegation; avoid direct sunlight.
Soil Needs: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix with added perlite or bark for aeration.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; avoid letting the plant sit in water.
Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine; higher humidity can enhance leaf vibrancy.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Trim to shape and remove any faded or damaged leaves.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when roots become crowded to refresh soil and encourage healthy growth.
