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.

Super cute
Color: Bunny (Mauve), Size: Small
Super cute and fuzzy. Definitely perfect size for a puppy and not too loud. The fur is very soft and the nose is sown on not a hard piece that can be chewed on. Very good quality too.

Normally amazing
Color: Spiky Ball (Blue, Orange), Size: Medium
We have purchased these slightly spiky dog balls several times for our very strong jaw heavy chewer dogs and they’ve been amazing. They don’t break down they don’t get torn apart the squeakers don’t even pop out of them. So we ordered another package because we’ve lost a few outside to the lawnmower… oops and the package that got delivered today had only one ball that squeaks and the other does not. THIS IS A PROBLEM ! Unfortunately my female dog got to the new squeaking ball first and my male got to the non-squeaking ball and he was NOT happy. Basically once they claim a ball it’s theirs and the other dogs don’t go near the ball they claimed. So he’s following my female around and every time she squeaks the ball and I’m just waiting for him to attempt to take it from her causing damage to her. Normally… These are amazingly fun, tough, durable but also squeaking balls (that’s rare in a tough ball) that my dogs absolutely love. This time just got a bad batch I guess. When they squeak the dogs LOVE them. After several months of play the squeaker might break inside of the ball but the ball never comes apart or gets damaged. And we as the owners love that they don’t break down are not able to be ripped or torn even by our very strong jawed and big jaw muscle dogs. They are also great for in the house play because they’re small enough that they fit completely inside our dog‘s mouth but obviously not small enough to get swallowed so when we throw them in the house for fetch the dogs can jump up and catch them fully in their mouth so they don’t cause any damage to the walls when they hit the walls. They’re not super heavy but they’re incredibly durable. Definitely worth the price especially if you have heavy chewers or big jaw muscle dogs.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!
