Ficus elastica 'Burgundy'Ficus always makes for great houseplants. A classic for sure! Ficus elastica is known for their intensely black foliage. Care: We recommend watering on a consistent watering schedule roughly around every 7 days, but only when the pot is nearly dry. They prefer bright indirect light but they can handle 2 3 hours of direct sun in the morning or evening. They do NOT do well when in lower light conditions! When repotting, use a semi coarse or chunky soil.

We don't get these in often so its a real treat when we do

typically between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C)
