Ficus Elastica Ruby Pink has a gorgeous tricolor variegation that is perfect for an indoor garden. It has glossy, vibrant evergreen foliage with red-pink and white variegation that is eye-catching. It is native to the tropical regions of Malaysia and India and thrives in bright indirect light and moist but well-drained soil.

It is a lovely addition to your collection of plants, especially if you have it displayed in a beautiful pot. You can plant them in a pot and place them inside your bedroom because they can purify the air, making your room clean and fresh air to breathe. Ficus Elastica is easy to grow and easy to care for as long as you provide them proper care, light, water, and humidity to thrive.

You can grow them indoors and outdoors. Allow the soil to dry before watering them, and make sure there is an excellent draining hole in the pot to prevent root rot. The best way to propagate them is via root cuttings.

Fertilizing them once a month during their growing season from spring to summer using a balanced liquid fertilizer will help them produce more leaves and grow faster. Ficus Elastica is toxic to humans and pets, so make sure not to mingle with them. You can grow them in USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12.

Description: Native to tropical regions of India and Malaysia, Ficus Ruby Pink is a hardy, vibrant evergreen plant with red-pink and white variegation. Care is similar to other rubber plants, but the variegation requires more light than the ‘Burgundy’ variety. It won’t do well in low light spaces, so place in bright indirect light. Water to keep soil moist at all times. Ficus elastica is a source of latex that is toxic to the skin, and poisonous if taken internally, so pet-owners and those allergic to latex should be cautious.
