Attention Gardeners, are you looking for Ficus plants that will make your garden stand out? Look no further than rubber fig, also known as Ficus Elastica burgundy! With its stunning, burgundy-colored leaves, it has several other names such as Indian rubber fig, Indian rubber tree plant, burgundy rubber plant, burgundy rubber tree, and Abidjan black prince. It belongs to the Ficus family and is native to Southeast Asia.  

Ficus burgundy is a popular perennial plant with dark green leaves, deep reddish variegation, and a glossy sheen. It features a large green trunk resembling an elephant's foot or tusk and is also known as the fiddle leaf fig. This dramatic and vigorous plant is perfect for any home or office room. This burgundy Ficus rubber plant is a fast-growing tropical plant, that can grow up to 10 feet indoors with glossy, oval-shaped leaves measuring 4 inches in width.  

The flowers of the Ficus burgundy are small and insignificant and bloom during spring and summer. However, it is primarily grown for its attractive, burgundy-colored leaves rather than its flowers.  

To propagate the Ficus burgundy, you can use stem cuttings. Simply take a healthy stem cutting with a few leaves and place it in a glass of water. After a few weeks, roots will start to develop, and you can transfer the cutting to a pot with well-draining soil. Another method is to propagate using air layering, where you encourage roots to grow on a section of the stem while it is still attached to the parent plant. 

Additionally, the Ficus plant's stems and leaves can be toxic to humans or pets if consumed in large amounts, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and paralysis, so it's crucial to prevent children and pets. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to Ficus burgundy care, it has moderate watering needs. The soil must remain consistently moist without becoming soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's best to let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again. You can test the soil's moisture content by inserting your finger into it. If it feels dry, it's time to water your rubber fig tree. 

When watering, be sure to completely saturate the soil and let it drain out of the pot.This helps to flush out any accumulated salts and ensures that the roots receive sufficient hydration. However, avoid leaving your Ficus burgundy rubber fig sitting in standing water, as this can also lead to root problems. 

During the winter months, when your Ficus plant is in its dormant phase, you can reduce the frequency of watering. Allow the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings, but still ensure that it doesn't completely dry out. 

Remember, each environment is unique, so it's important to observe your burgundy ficus and adjust your watering routine accordingly. If the leaves start to droop or turn yellow, it could be a sign of overwatering or underwatering. Finding the right balance will help keep your Ficus Burgundy happy and healthy! 

Light Requirements 

The Ficus Burgundy thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its dark foliage. It enjoys being near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. However, it's important to avoid placing it in direct sunlight as the intense rays can scorch the leaves. 

If you don't have a well-lit area in your home, don't worry! The Ficus Burgundy can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly, and its leaves might not develop their full burgundy color. You can also supplement its light requirements with artificial grow lights to ensure it gets the necessary light for healthy growth. 

Remember to rotate your rubber plant every few weeks to ensure even light exposure on all sides. This will help prevent your rubber fig from leaning towards the light source and promote balanced growth. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use a well-drained soil that is designed specifically for your succulent. These specialty soil mixes have been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. Commercial succulent soil is affordable and available online or at Home Depot. We believe the best option is to use our specialty succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your burgundy ficus rubber plant to thrive.  If you don't mind getting a bit of dirt on your hands and are okay with a basic soil for your succulents, then you can save some money and make your own mix by simply combining healthy natural garden soil with equal parts of sand or perlite. 

When it comes to fertilizing, the Ficus Burgundy benefits from a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer. You can apply it once a year during the growing season (spring). During the winter months, when your ficus plant is in its dormant phase, you can reduce or completely stop fertilizing. This allows your ficus rubber plant to rest and prepare for new growth in the following season. 

Remember to always water your ficus indoor plant before applying fertilizer to avoid burning the roots. And don't forget to wipe off any excess fertilizer from the leaves to prevent damage. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Ficus Burgundy is typically suited for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11, which means it can tolerate temperatures as low as 35°F. However, it's important to note that this Ficus plant prefers warmer temperatures and may suffer damage if exposed to prolonged cold or frost. 

In terms of temperature, the Ficus Burgundy thrives in average room temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. It can tolerate slightly higher or lower temperatures, but extreme fluctuations or prolonged exposure to very high or low temperatures can negatively impact its growth. 

When it comes to humidity, the Ficus Burgundy prefers moderate to high humidity levels. It can tolerate average household humidity, but it will appreciate some extra humidity, especially during dry winter months. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the rubber fig plant or using a humidifier. 

Remember to avoid placing the plant near drafts or vents, as sudden temperature changes and dry air can stress the Ficus Burgundy. With the right temperature and humidity conditions, your plant will thrive and maintain its beautiful foliage.

Great Slip-On Leash
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Black
Great little leash. I originally bought this for the neighborhood pitbull that keeps escaping. First time I was able to get him by the collar and walk him home hunched over, but the second time he escaped he had slipped it, so I had to carry him home. i figured it was time to get a leash to have one on hand (we didn't have our own dog at the time). This was the first slip over leash I spotted on here and so I grabbed it just to have here the next time he shows up. Really glad I did. If I approach friendly, he comes over tail wagging looking for affection. I can easily slip it over as I give him some pets and then he happily walks home with me. It works perfectly for that. Then comes our recently adopted puppy. She came with a very small collar (but she's already 22 lbs) and the clip on leash we got for her was kind of cumbersome to put on with that tiny little D-ring, so this ended up becoming our go-to leash for walks as well. Much easier to take on and off, and especially easy to slip over for those times I let her run off leash and she's not cooperating with it going back on. Very strong without being too heavy, and easy on both my hands and the dog's neck. I'll probably go back to a clip-on once she fits into her larger/wider collar (which will be much more comfortable for her), but for now this is a fantastic temporary solution. I cannot recommend it enough.

Very good dog leash for heavy or big dogs. Not for the little guys. Be sure to keep it above their neck as to not choke them. Good training leash for walking large dogs or very strong puppies of a larger breed for training purposes. Walking everyday is so good for them and you! Helps keep them following you, walking on your side or while your , rollerblading, cycling .. Teaching relaxing ways to walk your dog, gently n not choking them by keeping it high behind their ears! The dog will love you. Watch Dog Whisperer on how to walk your dog safely n dog not pull n walk you! If your dog is really heavy, strong n big, get the strongest one. Be sure to keep their regular I’d collar on. This is not a replacement for a collar. Do not ever use this to tie up your dog, not safe. Just have a daily long walk with your pet dog. Mine is 45 lbs and walks wonderfully with me with this leash. No pulling, tugging or jerking. Note: can be chewed by puppies. Never leave them alone with leash on.

The best thing ever for you and your dog!
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Black
This leash has been a blessing. I rescued a dog several years ago and I'm not sure what the previous owners did to him but there was no way I could get a harness or collar on him. I tried and being that it's just me and he is about 130 lbs, it wasn't going to happen. I ran out of ideas but saw one trainer video where she slipped it on her dog while giving her dog a treat. That was a great and all but Thor has never taken a treat from my hand. I would have to put it down. Anyway I did and slipped the leash around him and it worked so smoothly. He was surprised by it but I praised him for it. I do this daily now because the slip leash is so easy to work with. I can't thank you guys enough. The quality is there and made well. If you need to train your dog on a leash, you can't go wrong buying this.

Good, heavy duty leash
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Purple
I bought 2 of these leashes for my dogs after seeing a dog trainer use something very similar. Before this, I was using a conventional clip-on leash and a flat collar, and I found that my dogs pulled a lot. Well, my young and insane terrier mix still pulls like a freight train, but my older dog has responded well to this leash. It's been significantly easier to get him to heel and to move him along when he decides to spend an entire day sniffing a patch of grass. I'm sure my younger dog will calm down a bit when I work with her some more, and this leash will help. The rope is stout and it has reflective thread woven into it. I didn't realize how visible it was until a light shone on it. I wouldn't rely on it to keep you safe in low visibility areas (wear a reflective vest if you walk at night and there's traffic) but it can't hurt and is a nice touch. The rope is soft enough that it doesn't chafe either dog's neck, and it's thick enough that it doesn't hurt my hands even when the dogs spot a rabbit or squirrel and YANK as hard as they can. I certainly have no fear of this leash breaking-- it looks like you could tow a small car with it. This is an excellent, inexpensive slip leash to use when walking or training an obstinate dog.

Great Quality & Easily Useable!
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Yellow
These are the BEST leashes, not only for new dogs that are training, but for every day usage. My dog is 40 lb. Bernedoodle and he is off-leash a lot of the time because he wears an e-collar and responds well to this. So these leadshes that slip on and off easily are terrific! They are great quality, nice weight, perfect length at 6 feet. I have several in different colors.
