The Ficus Burgundy Rubber Plant is a striking, low-maintenance houseplant with dark, glossy leaves that shift in color with light exposure. Native to Northeastern India, it purifies the air, boosts humidity, and thrives in bright, indirect light. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, and use a well-draining pot. Clean the leaves occasionally, fertilize yearly, and re-pot every 1–3 years. Outdoors, it suits USDA zones 10–11 but should be brought inside below 50°F. Fast-growing and elegant, it makes a bold statement in any indoor space.
