Ficus Elastica 'Ruby Pink'

Ficus Elastica 'Ruby Pink' (Ruby Rubber Tree, Variegated Rubber Plant)
The Ficus Elastica 'Ruby Pink' is a true statement plant, boasting stunning variegated leaves with shades of green, creamy white, and blush pink. This tropical beauty is both vibrant and sophisticated, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to add a pop of color to their indoor plant collection. Native to Southeast Asia and India, this hardy plant is relatively easy to care for, provided it gets enough light to maintain its bold variegation.

• Light Needs: Thrives in bright, indirect light. The variegation on its leaves needs plenty of light to stay vivid, so avoid low-light areas. Keep it out of direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate pink and white patterns.
• Watering Needs: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months.
• Humidity Needs: Prefers moderate to high humidity. It will tolerate standard indoor humidity levels but appreciates occasional misting or placement near a humidifier to keep its leaves looking their best.
• Temperature Needs: Loves warmth and thrives in temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F, as it dislikes the cold.
• Difficulty to Take Care Of: Moderate. While it’s a hardy plant, its variegation makes it slightly more sensitive to light and watering than its all-green counterparts. Perfect for plant parents ready to step up their care game!
• Toxicity: Contains latex that is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, and may irritate the skin. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and furry friends.

The Ficus Elastica 'Ruby Pink' is a dazzling addition to any space, effortlessly combining elegance with bold, tropical flair. With its vibrant hues and relatively low-maintenance nature, it’s the perfect plant for anyone looking to brighten up their home with a splash of pink!
