Ruby Ficus Elastica

Add a bold pop of color to your plant collection with the stunning Ficus Ruby. This tropical beauty is known for its thick, glossy leaves streaked with shades of deep green, blush pink, and creamy white. The Ficus Ruby is part of the rubber plant family, and while it brings the drama with its vibrant foliage, it’s surprisingly low-maintenance once it’s settled in. It is typically a fast-growing, upright plant that can eventually reach tree-like height indoors. Prune to maintain shape or encourage bushier growth.

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its pink and variegated coloring. Too little light will cause the colors to fade, while too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Ficus Ruby prefers consistent moisture but doesn’t like to sit in soggy soil.
Bloom: Indoor Ficus plants rarely flower, and when they do, the blooms are small and insignificant. This plant is truly grown for its foliage.
Propagation: Best propagated through stem cuttings. Use clean, sharp shears to take a cutting with at least one leaf and node, and root in water or moist soil. Be patient—rooting can take several weeks.
