Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' XL

Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' XLFicus 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 12 14ish 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. Like most Ficus, these will NOT do well in lower light conditions. When repotting, use a semi

This could be dapple direct sun for about 1-2 hours such as morning light or just if you had a room that is bright filtered light for a majority of the day

It has circular coin like foliage and its a relatively slow grower but they eventually will cascade out of any pot you put them in

They definitely prefer a trellis or some support to produce that nice thick heart shaped foliage

We make these with an inner layer of sphagnum moss

Everyone has completely different tastes for what they like and would like as a gift

It is especially neat to see the light shine through their leaves

Their leaves are super thick with very pronounced veining with a slight white variegation along the edges

use a semi-coarse potting medium that will drain water well

These would thrive as a mounted plant or in a hanging basket which can help mimic it's natural environment

meaning the foliage will grow in center rather than off of a central vine

Water roughly every 10-12 days when the soil has dried out from the top 2-3" and place it in a bright filtered light to dapple the direct sun

Although this is sold often as a "low light plant" our definition of low light is what the plant needs to survive
