Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’ (Variegated Rubber Tree)

The Ficus Elastica Ruby, also known as a variegated Rubber tree, is native to tropical regions of India and Malaysia. Its care is similar to that of the Rubber Tree, however its unique tri-colored variegation requires brighter light conditions than the Burgundy variety to keep the colors strong and defined.

Rubber trees are a favorite house plant for many, due to their tolerance of lower light growing conditions and fast growth rate. In the wild, mature Rubber Trees can reach up to 100 ft in height, but a mature houseplant generally reaches 6-10 ft.

• Height: 6-10 ft 
• Watering needs: Moderate, allow top few inches of soil to dry between watering
• Sun needs: Bright light
• Soil needs: Well-draining
