6" Ficus Elastica 'Ruby Pink' in Landscape Pot

Meet the showstopper of houseplants. The Ficus Ruby Pink is a stunning variegated rubber tree with thick, glossy leaves splashed in shades of cream, sage green, and vibrant pink. The pink is most intense on new growth and when the plant gets bright light. This 6" size comes in a simple landscape pot — clean, modern, and ready to drop into your favorite decorative planter or stand alone on a shelf.

At 6", it’s about 12-18" tall overall and makes the perfect desk, shelf, or coffee table accent that still has room to grow into a floor statement.

Care Instructions for Ficus 'Ruby Pink'

Care	What It Needs
Light	Bright, indirect light is best. Keeps the pink variegation strong. It tolerates medium light but you’ll lose some pink. Avoid harsh direct sun — it can scorch the leaves. An east or west window is perfect.
Water	Let the top 1-2" of soil dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom, then dump excess. Usually every 7-10 days, less in winter. Overwatering = yellow leaves and root rot.
Humidity	Average home humidity is fine, but it loves 50%+. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth monthly to keep them glossy and dust-free. Mist if your air is really dry.
Temperature	Keep between 65-80°F. Avoid cold drafts, AC vents, and temps below 55°F. It’s a tropical — it hates the cold.
Soil & Pot	Comes in well-draining soil in a landscape pot with drainage holes. Repot only when roots circle the bottom, usually every 2-3 years. Size up 1-2" at a time.
Fertilizer	Feed monthly in spring/summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Skip in fall/winter when growth slows.
Toxicity	Mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested due to sap. Keep away from curious cats, dogs, and kids. Sap can also irritate skin.

Pro Tips:

1. Rotate it every few weeks so it grows evenly and doesn’t lean toward the light.
2. Less pink? It needs more light. Move it closer to a window.
3. Dropping leaves? Usually from moving shock, overwatering, or cold drafts. Let it settle and check your watering.

The Ruby Pink is low-maintenance but high-impact. Give it bright light and don’t drown it, and you’ll get that gorgeous pink glow year-round.
