Ficus elastica 'Burgundy'

• Tropical tree or shrub with succulent, deep-burgundy leaves.
• New growth has a reddish colour.
  
• Leaves and branches bleed latex sap when injured.

Care:

• Light: Bright, with some direct sun (east or west window).
• Water: Allow the top 30-50% of soil to dry between watering; avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to remain dry for an extended period.
• Fertilizer: Use an all-purpose fertilizer such as Schultz Indoor Plant Food (10-15-10) once or twice monthly.
• Other tips: Avoid placing near drafts or heat registers; leaf drop will occur if plants are stressed by temperature fluctuations or lack of light. Grows best in an undersized pot; use well-drained potting mix; we recommend Pro-Mix Tropical Plant Mix with extra perlite added.
