The "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica, also known as the "Ruby" rubber plant, is a striking variety of the rubber tree plant, with beautiful pink, green, and cream-colored leaves. This plant adds a touch of color and elegance to any indoor space. Follow these care instructions to keep your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica healthy and thriving:

  1. Light: Place your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica in a location with bright, indirect light. The variegated leaves require more light than the non-variegated varieties to maintain their vibrant colors. However, avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves and cause the colors to fade.

  2. Water: Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Water your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot, and then allow the excess water to drain completely. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.

  3. Humidity: "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it will appreciate a boost in humidity, especially during dry winter months. To increase humidity, you can place a tray filled with water and pebbles underneath the pot, mist the leaves occasionally, or use a humidifier.

  4. Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 65-85°F (18-29°C) for optimal growth. "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica can tolerate a range of temperatures but avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) or sudden temperature changes.

  5. Fertilizer: Feed your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a half-strength solution to avoid over-fertilizing. Reduce feeding to once every 2-3 months during fall and winter.

  6. Pruning: Prune your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica as needed to maintain its shape and size. Remove any yellow or brown leaves and trim the tips if they become damaged. You can also pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth.

  7. Repotting: Repot your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica every 2-3 years or when the roots outgrow the pot. Choose a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one. Be gentle when handling the roots, and water the plant thoroughly after repotting.

  8. Pest control: Keep an eye out for common pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Pet-friendly or toxic to pets?

According to the ASPCA, Ficus elastica, including the "Ruby" variegated variety, is toxic to cats and dogs. If ingested, it can cause symptoms such as oral irritation, excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing due to the presence of proteolytic enzymes and calcium oxalate crystals. It's best to keep your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica out of reach of pets to prevent any potential health issues. If you suspect your pet has ingested any part of the plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.

True-to-photos color, solid build, and great for organizing
Color: 2Pcs Green
Durability: This tray feels well-made and sturdy. I replaced a fragile tray that shattered when it fell, and this one feels like it would hold up far better to normal day-to-day handling. I am not going to stress-test it, but it feels substantial and nicely finished. Use and ease of use: It does exactly what a tray should do. It is easy to carry, stable when set down, and the woven leather surface feels secure and helps keep items from sliding around. Color: The green woven leather matches the website photos. No surprises, no weird undertones. It looks clean and high quality in person. Organization: This is where it really shines for me. It is a great fit for corralling items on a table, counter, or dresser and instantly makes things look more intentional. It is not stackable, but it is not advertised as stackable either, so that is fine. Size and accuracy: The dimensions match the schematics online, which I appreciated. It fits the space I bought it for exactly as expected. Overall, it looks high-end, feels durable, and is a simple upgrade if you want a tray that helps keep a space organized without feeling flimsy.

Nice tray!
Color: Black
This tray has helped me organize my desk better. I use it for my phone stand and charger, as well as a place to hold and charge my vapors. It has a nice rubber mat inside so nothing gets scratched on the wood. It is well put together and seems very sturdy. I think it will last a long time! It works for anywhere in the house.

Classic gents’ tray
Color: Black
This tray is large enough to hold the items a guy normally carries around in his pockets (e.g., wallet, eyeglasses, cellphone, money, keys, lip balm). The tray is lowkey attractive and keeps a dresser from looking cluttered. The tray bottom is thin yet sturdy. Good price and worth the buy.
