Size and Growth:
Size: Grows up to 2–8 feet tall indoors, depending on care, with leaves reaching up to 12 inches long.
Growth: This plant grows vertically and can be pruned to maintain your preferred height and shape.
Pet Friendliness:
The Ficus Elastica Burgundy is not pet-friendly. It contains a milky sap that can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep this plant out of reach of curious paws to ensure a safe environment for your furry friends.
Care Instructions:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can adapt to moderate light conditions. Avoid direct sun, as it may scorch the leaves.
Watering: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so always ensure proper drainage.
Humidity: Prefers average to high humidity levels. Consider occasional misting or placing a tray of water nearby to boost moisture.
Temperature: Keep between 16-24°C. Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
Soil: Use well-draining potting soil. A mix of peat, pine bark, and perlite is ideal.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
