Apply as a growerFicus Elastica Ruby key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 60-200cm
- Light & Placement
- Bright indirect light keeps the red and pink coloring. In dim spots the leaves turn greener and the variegation fades.
- Watering
- Water thoroughly once the soil dries and water less in winter. As a rubber plant it fares better slightly dry than soggy.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold-sensitive; keep it above 15°C. In winter place it in a warm room away from chilly windows and direct heater air.
- Soil & Repotting
- Plant in a well-draining mix. Growth stalls when rootbound, so move up one pot size once roots emerge from the base.
- Pests & Cautions
- Dust dulls the leaf color, so wipe the leaves regularly with a damp cloth. The sap irritates skin, so wear gloves when handling.
