Product Description:
Introducing the stunning Burgundy Rubber Tree (Ficus elastica), a must-have indoor plant that will add a touch of elegance to any space. With its deep, glossy burgundy leaves, this plant effortlessly stands out and becomes the centerpiece of any room. The Burgundy Rubber Tree is known for its air-purifying abilities, making it ideal for creating a healthier and more vibrant environment in your home or office. Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or just starting your indoor garden, the Burgundy Rubber Tree is a resilient and low-maintenance choice that will thrive with minimal effort.

Plant Care Guide:
Light: The Burgundy Rubber Tree prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A location near a north or east-facing window is usually ideal. However, it can tolerate lower light conditions, but may grow more slowly.

Watering: Water your Burgundy Rubber Tree thoroughly but allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to ensure proper drainage. It's best to water less in the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Humidity: This plant thrives in higher humidity, so misting the leaves regularly or placing a tray of water nearby can help create a more humid environment. However, it can also adapt to average household humidity levels.

Temperature: The Burgundy Rubber Tree prefers temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Avoid exposing it to drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

Fertilizer: Feed your Burgundy Rubber Tree with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during winter when the plant is dormant.

Pruning: Pruning is not necessary for the Burgundy Rubber Tree, but you can trim it to maintain its shape or remove any damaged or yellowing leaves. Use clean, sharp pruning shears or scissors to make clean cuts.

Propagation: If you want to propagate your Burgundy Rubber Tree, stem cuttings can be taken and rooted in water or placed directly into moist potting soil.

Pests: The Burgundy Rubber Tree is generally resistant to pests, but occasionally, it may encounter issues like mealybugs or spider mites. Regularly inspect the plant for any signs of pests and treat them promptly if detected with our Damn Bug! Organic Pesticide

With its striking appearance and easy-care nature, the Burgundy Rubber Tree is a fantastic choice for both experienced plant lovers and beginners. Add this beautiful plant to your indoor collection and enjoy the numerous benefits it brings to your space.
