Discover the stunning world of variegated Ficus with our exceptional collection featuring two of the most sought-after varieties in the plant world. These aren’t your grandmother’s plain green rubber plants - these modern cultivars showcase incredible variegation and color that transforms any space into a vibrant botanical showcase. Perfect for adding bold, contemporary style to your indoor garden.
**Available Size:** 6” plants in landscape pots
Current Varieties:
- **Ficus Burgundy - Rich, deep burgundy-red leaves with glossy finish
- **Ficus Ruby Pink** - Stunning tri-color variegation in green, cream, and coral-pink tones
- **Ficus “Shivereana” (Moonshine)** - Ethereal silvery-green leaves with cream and yellow variegation
Plant Characteristics:
Both varieties are cultivars of Ficus elastica (rubber plant) bred for their spectacular foliage coloration. Ficus Ruby Pink displays glossy leaves with dramatic pink, cream, and green variegation that intensifies with proper lighting - new growth often emerges in striking coral-pink tones. Ficus Shivereana showcases more subtle but equally captivating silvery-green leaves with creamy yellow splashes that give it an almost moonlit appearance. Ficus Burgundy offers deep, rich burgundy-red leaves with a glossy finish that creates dramatic contrast and sophisticated elegance. These compact varieties typically grow 2-4 feet indoors with proper care, developing thick, sturdy trunks over time. The waxy, glossy leaves are easy to clean and maintain their vibrant colors year-round.
Care Instructions:
- **Light:** Bright, indirect light for best variegation; some morning sun enhances pink tones in Ruby
- **Water:** Water when top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry; avoid overwatering
- **Humidity:** Average household humidity (30-50%); very adaptable
- **Temperature:** Room temperature 65-80°F; protect from cold drafts
- **Soil:** Well-draining potting mix; standard houseplant soil works well
- **Fertilizer:** Monthly feeding with balanced liquid fertilizer during growing season
- **Pruning:** Pinch or prune growing tips to encourage bushier growth and maintain size
Special Notes:
These variegated varieties are more light-sensitive than solid green rubber plants - insufficient light can cause variegation to fade. The Burgundy variety maintains its deep color best in bright, indirect light as well. Wipe leaves regularly with a damp cloth to maintain their glossy appearance and remove dust. These plants produce a milky sap when cut, which can be irritating to skin and should be kept away from eyes.
Perfect for plant collectors seeking rare, Instagram-worthy varieties and anyone wanting to add sophisticated color to their plant collection. Note: Ficus plants are mildly toxic to pets and children if ingested.
