Planet Desert Rubber Fig Ficus

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, you will notice the burgundy variegation fading to a duller green if it doesn't receive enough sun.

No, the Ficus Burgundy is toxic if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a room or on a stand that is inaccessible to curious pets and small children.

Aim for a moderate watering schedule. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings, as the plant prefers consistent moisture but dislikes sitting in waterlogged soil.

Yes, it has the potential to reach that height over time, though indoor growth is generally slower than in its natural habitat. You can easily manage its size and shape with regular pruning if it starts to outgrow your space.

While it is a tropical plant, it adapts well to average household humidity levels. If you live in a particularly dry climate, you might notice the leaves appreciate an occasional misting or a wipe-down with a damp cloth to keep them glossy and dust-free.

It is considered a moderate-care plant. If you are diligent about checking soil moisture and can provide a consistent, bright spot in your home, it is quite rewarding and relatively straightforward to maintain.
