Attention Gardeners, are you looking for Ficus plants that will make your garden stand out? Look no further than rubber fig, also known as Ficus Elastica burgundy! With its stunning, burgundy-colored leaves, it has several other names such as Indian rubber fig, Indian rubber tree plant, burgundy rubber plant, burgundy rubber tree, and Abidjan black prince. It belongs to the Ficus family and is native to Southeast Asia.  

Ficus burgundy is a popular perennial plant with dark green leaves, deep reddish variegation, and a glossy sheen. It features a large green trunk resembling an elephant's foot or tusk and is also known as the fiddle leaf fig. This dramatic and vigorous plant is perfect for any home or office room. This burgundy Ficus rubber plant is a fast-growing tropical plant, that can grow up to 10 feet indoors with glossy, oval-shaped leaves measuring 4 inches in width.   

The flowers of the Ficus burgundy are small and insignificant and bloom during spring and summer. However, it is primarily grown for its attractive, burgundy-colored leaves rather than its flowers.  

To propagate the Ficus burgundy, you can use stem cuttings. Simply take a healthy stem cutting with a few leaves and place it in a glass of water. After a few weeks, roots will start to develop, and you can transfer the cutting to a pot with well-draining soil. Another method is to propagate using air layering, where you encourage roots to grow on a section of the stem while it is still attached to the parent plant. 

Additionally, the Ficus plant's stems and leaves can be toxic to humans or pets if consumed in large amounts, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and paralysis, so it's crucial to prevent children and pets. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to Ficus burgundy care, it has moderate watering needs. The soil must remain consistently moist without becoming soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's best to let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again. You can test the soil's moisture content by inserting your finger into it. If it feels dry, it's time to water your rubber fig tree. 

When watering, be sure to completely saturate the soil and let it drain out of the pot. This helps to flush out any accumulated salts and ensures that the roots receive sufficient hydration. However, avoid leaving your Ficus burgundy rubber fig sitting in standing water, as this can also lead to root problems. 

During the winter months, when your Ficus plant is in its dormant phase, you can reduce the frequency of watering. Allow the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings, but still ensure that it doesn't completely dry out. 

Remember, each environment is unique, so it's important to observe your burgundy ficus and adjust your watering routine accordingly. If the leaves start to droop or turn yellow, it could be a sign of overwatering or underwatering. Finding the right balance will help keep your Ficus Burgundy happy and healthy! 

Light Requirements 

The Ficus Burgundy thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its dark foliage. It enjoys being near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. However, it's important to avoid placing it in direct sunlight as the intense rays can scorch the leaves. 

If you don't have a well-lit area in your home, don't worry! The Ficus Burgundy can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly, and its leaves might not develop their full burgundy color. You can also supplement its light requirements with artificial grow lights to ensure it gets the necessary light for healthy growth. 

Remember to rotate your rubber plant every few weeks to ensure even light exposure on all sides. This will help prevent your rubber fig from leaning towards the light source and promote balanced growth. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use a well-drained soil that is designed specifically for your succulent. These specialty soil mixes have been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. Commercial succulent soil is affordable and available online or at Home Depot. We believe the best option is to use our specialty succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your burgundy ficus rubber plant to thrive.  If you don't mind getting a bit of dirt on your hands and are okay with a basic soil for your succulents, then you can save some money and make your own mix by simply combining healthy natural garden soil with equal parts of sand or perlite. 

When it comes to fertilizing, the Ficus Burgundy benefits from a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer. You can apply it once a year during the growing season (spring). During the winter months, when your ficus plant is in its dormant phase, you can reduce or completely stop fertilizing. This allows your ficus rubber plant to rest and prepare for new growth in the following season. 

Remember to always water your ficus indoor plant before applying fertilizer to avoid burning the roots. And don't forget to wipe off any excess fertilizer from the leaves to prevent damage. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Ficus Burgundy is typically suited for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11, which means it can tolerate temperatures as low as 35°F. However, it's important to note that this Ficus plant prefers warmer temperatures and may suffer damage if exposed to prolonged cold or frost. 

In terms of temperature, the Ficus Burgundy thrives in average room temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. It can tolerate slightly higher or lower temperatures, but extreme fluctuations or prolonged exposure to very high or low temperatures can negatively impact its growth. 

When it comes to humidity, the Ficus Burgundy prefers moderate to high humidity levels. It can tolerate average household humidity, but it will appreciate some extra humidity, especially during dry winter months. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the rubber fig plant or using a humidifier. 

Remember to avoid placing the plant near drafts or vents, as sudden temperature changes and dry air can stress the Ficus Burgundy. With the right temperature and humidity conditions, your plant will thrive and maintain its beautiful foliage.

Well-Made Toy, but Too Stiff and Large for Small Dogs
I purchased this product for my dog Woody to use as a treat-dispensing toy. While the toy is well-made and feels durable, it wasn’t the best fit for my small Maltipoo. The central roller mechanism is quite stiff and heavy, making it difficult for a small dog to rotate or engage with it effectively. In terms of installation and setup, it was easy and straightforward. The adjustable settings are a nice touch and allow for some control over treat release, which is great. However, due to the size and resistance of the roller, the toy seems more suited for medium to large dogs rather than small breeds. It offers good value for money considering the build quality, but I would recommend it only for dogs with enough strength to interact with the roller comfortably.

Entertainment for You --- Fun for your Dog
Size: 4 INCH, Pattern Name: IQ TREAT BALL 4"
I had seen a friend with this toy for her dog. I asked if I could try it for my two dogs (mini schnauzer & chihuahua/pug mix). My dogs loved it! The only way they'll stop playing with it is if you pick it up or when they finally realize there aren't anymore treats available. I now own two of the 5" (which is really 4" in diameter) and one 3". If I know I'll be gone for a while, I'll load up all 3 and they'll have more than enough food/stimulation while I'm out. I am so satisfied with these toys, I looked up the manufacturer and purchased the Large Buster Food Cube. Why? -Simply for variety. The Buster doesn't get quite as good of a following from my dogs as the ball, but it has its own advantages. The chips seen in another reviewers photo(s)..., this happened to me as well. When inspecting the three IQ Balls I have for my dogs, no chipping of the small fins as shown in the photo(s) changed the integrity of the ball. The chips will most likely happen to everyone if your dog is even somewhat of a chewer. I'm not putting these on display for family/friends to come see. They're dog toys. If your dog is a fierce chewer, only use the ball as an entertaining feeding option. The Buster Food Cube could be used permanently with the most determined chewers. Please don't be swayed by those photos. I was a little concerned when I had seen them prior to ordering. Now, I know how inconsequential those chips are and how much those photos make it appear like a potential deal-breaker. Tennis balls and the Kong toy used to be my favorites for my dogs. Now the Treat Ball and Buster Food Cube are the favorites. Treat Ball - Pros ----------------- -More fun for my dogs than the Buster Food Cube -Adjustable food dispensing - you can set it to be depleted quickly, the cube will take a lot longer, relatively Buster Food Cube - Pros ------------------------ -Holds more food -A bit more challenging than the ball -Very quiet compared to the ball (you'll experience a constant rolling until the ball crashes into your wall, furniture, etc. - nothing harmful to either) -Rarely, if ever does it get stuck (with the ball - even the larger size - you may find times when your dog has given up because it has been lost under an accommodating piece of furniture; the cube is truly too large to get trapped) -More durable than the ball - the most determined chewers will not have success destroying this toy *** If OurPets would ever make a larger sized ball (Buster Food Cube diameter), I would buy that in a second. This would keep it from being stuck as often and I would like the increased food capacity, as the cube has.

great
Size: 4 INCH, Pattern Name: IQ TREAT BALL 4"
This ball is great for my two and a half year old border collie mix. I give his breakfast through this ball, and it keeps him occupied for 20 minutes total. The ball won't fill up a whole cup of kibble, so I have to fill it up two times. This ball takes him longer and tires him more than the Tug a Jug, which only takes him about five minutes to empty. As he empties the ball twice, he will pant and go lap on some water. It's good to see he's getting some kind of work for his food as opposed to just chomping it down from the bowl with no effort. The only downside is that a lot of times the lid gets loose even if you close it pretty secure. One time the lid came off completly as my dog was playing with it, exposing all the kibble. To prevent this I used some strength to close the lid very tight, but later I could not open it back up! It took a grown male to open it back. My dog does not chew on this ball due to the awkward shape and material(hard plastic). I and my dog have dropped this a couple of times on both laminate and wood floor, but I see no crack on the ball so far. It seems durable. Good ball to make your dog work for his breakfast or dinner. UPDATE: My dog still loves this toy. With the difficulty setting set to max, it is the slowest treat dispensing toy in my collection(buster cube, tug a jug, kong wobbler). That's good, it lets him burn off more energy. Also since the ball doesn't hold a full cup of kibble, I would pour half and the rest on his regular food bowl. I place the ball next the the bowl and give a release "OK!". Guess where my dog goes? He runs off with the ball! Even after realizing that there is food in the bowl (He puts his nose inside the bowl for a second and then goes to the ball) where he could just eat it, he perfers to get his food from the ball.

3 considerations for IQ BALL. FUN, DURABILITY & COST to TIME VALUE
Size: 4 INCH, Pattern Name: IQ TREAT BALL 4", Size: 4 INCH, Pattern Name: IQ TREAT BALL 4"
3 Points to consider buying IQ BALL : FUN, SAFETY & COST. IQ BALL out of the well packed box: It is a good toy depending on your dogs' SIZES, TOY DESTRUCTION QUOTIENT & Cost to PlayTime ratio 1) FUN--Great fun for playful dogs who like chasing balls & learning treat rewards for rolling it. 5 Stars FUN & for puppies learning to problem solve. Fun will depend on dog's size, especially if they're mouthy (chew-wise) & how big they open--can the dog get the ball in its mouth to break it? Overall our experience is FUN=5 Stars 2) SAFETY: Our 5 month, 22" high, 30# Australian Pup spent 2 hours of continuous play, first time w IQ Ball. He could not hold or carry it in his small puppy mouth...this is not a problem but a good thing. Larger dogs wont necessary get the pt. if all they do is carry it around. Also---Reckon, any larger dog e.g. Germ. Shep., Rottie., Malamute & esp. Staffordshire Bull, Pit Bull Terriers, or larger mouth dogs could easily crush this lightweight plastic into shattered sharp bits. If the dog is easy going on toys it may be okay. Otherwise I'd worry about it breaking in the dog's mouth. 3) Cost to Time ratio is likely very good if, dog is not too "mouthy" with their toys. Rate it at a 3 overall for Med. to Large Dogs & 5 for pups & smaller dogs. Cost not worth it if dog crushes it in a minute. Our little guy just started playing with IQ Ball again 5 hrs. after unpacking it. At first he chased it around the house for almost 2 hrs. So Cost/Time used ratio depends on your dog's food motivation & love for balls that toss kibble out at various intervals. Set-up's a breeze. Delivery opening is adjustable, depending on kibble size & how much you want to reward the dog. We set delivery hole wide open the first 15 min. Then adjusted it smaller as he figured out, the more I roll this ball, the more treats come out. SAFETY CAN BE AN ISSUE BUT OVERALL, WITH CERTAIN DOGS & DOG SIZE, THIS IQ BALL IS A GOOD 4 STARS. 1 other caveat: uneaten kibble left on floor can be a calling card for little "Mickies" who just LOVE dog kibble. We vacuumed a few times already.
