Care & tips for the Ficus Elastica Burgundy braided trunk
The Ficus Elastica Burgundy is a tough, robust houseplant that asks very little and adds plenty of atmosphere to your home. With its glossy, deep red leaves and elegant braided trunk it is a real eye-catcher. This plant does best in a steady spot and doesn't like being moved about. Keep the leaves clean by wiping them now and then with a damp cloth, so they stay glossy and can breathe.
How much water does the Ficus Elastica Burgundy braided trunk need?
This Ficus likes slightly moist soil but is sensitive to too much water. Let the top layer dry out properly before you water again. In winter the soil may feel drier between waterings.
How much light does the Ficus Elastica Burgundy braided trunk need?
Give the Ficus Elastica a spot with plenty of indirect light. It copes with a bit of shade too, but grows best with enough daylight. Direct sun is possible as long as you build it up gradually, otherwise the leaves can scorch.
Is the Ficus Elastica Burgundy braided trunk toxic?
The Ficus Elastica is mildly toxic if swallowed, so take care around pets and small children.
