Description: Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is a popular cultivar of the rubber plant, known for its striking dark foliage. This plant typically grows to about 1.8 to 2.4 meters (6 to 8 feet) in height indoors, and can reach up to 12 meters (40 feet) or more in outdoor conditions in tropical climates, though it can be kept smaller with regular pruning. The leaves are large, oval-shaped, and glossy, with a deep burgundy to almost black hue, especially prominent in new growth.

Foliage: The standout feature of Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is its deep, dark, and glossy leaves. Each leaf is a rich burgundy to dark green color, creating a dramatic and sophisticated look. The leaves are thick, leathery, and can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) long, providing a lush and tropical appearance.

Growth Habit: This plant has a sturdy, upright growth habit with a single trunk that can develop aerial roots over time. It is relatively fast-growing under ideal conditions and can become quite large if not pruned regularly. However, it can be easily maintained as a smaller, bushy plant with occasional trimming.

Cultivation: Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is versatile and can be grown both indoors and outdoors in Australia, depending on the climate. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. When grown indoors, it prefers a well-lit spot away from harsh, direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch. Outdoors, it should be planted in a sheltered position with partial shade.

Soil: The plant prefers well-drained, fertile soil. A high-quality potting mix with good drainage is ideal for container growth. When planting in the ground, ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.

Watering: Allow the top few centimeters (1-2 inches) of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to avoid waterlogged conditions. During the growing season (spring and summer), keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down.

Pruning: Pruning can be done to maintain the desired shape and size. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage bushier growth. Pruning can also help control the plant's height if space is limited.

Pests and Diseases: Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is generally pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by common indoor plant pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Regularly inspect the plant and treat any infestations promptly with appropriate insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues.

Uses: This versatile plant is perfect for use as a statement indoor plant, adding a touch of tropical elegance to any room. It can also be used in outdoor landscapes in frost-free areas, where it can grow larger and serve as a focal point in the garden. Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is also popular for its air-purifying qualities, making it a beneficial addition to indoor spaces.

Care Tips:

  • Place the plant in a location with bright, indirect light.
  • Water thoroughly but allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings.
  • Use a well-draining potting mix or soil.
  • Fertilise monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser.
  • Wipe the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them shiny.

By incorporating Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' into your home or garden, you can enjoy its dramatic, dark foliage and low-maintenance care, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and air quality of your space.

THIS is the BEST holder--who knew there were better ones?
Color: Black
THIS ONE IS PERFECT. This holder is the simplest design and works so well. You just slide the paper towels over the ring, use the ring to move from spot to spot, and the base edges are perfectly smooth. THIS was well thought-out. Bravo. I already sent back a couple of these paper towels holders--but this one is the right one! You wouldn't think that some of them would be constructed with sharp edges or would have no way to move the holder around, but many are not constructed poorly. One had such sharp edges on the base I knew I'd cut myself. So this one is the one for a safe, simple, elegant, easy use. We got ours in black to match our kitchen--perfect.

Easy, great function paper towel holder!
Color: Silver
This paper towel holder is the best I’ve ever had. Extremely easy to Put together - instructions are included but you really don’t need them - just screw the metal tube into the base. It’s heavy enough to hold the paper towels securely and ease to take individual sheets. I have one for quite some time now and just bought this one for my son and daughter-in-law. It comes well packaged and came quickly. Very stable, perfect size and easy to use!
