Botanical name: Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’
Also known as: Ruby Rubber Tree, Variegated Rubber Plant

The Ruby Rubber Plant is a vibrant, low-maintenance indoor tree with striking pink, cream, and green variegated foliage. Native to Southeast Asia, this plant adds a bold splash of color and drama to modern interiors. Its thick, glossy leaves and upright growth make it both decorative and practical.

☀️ Light: Needs bright, indirect light to maintain vivid variegation. Lower light can fade the pink and cream tones.

💧 Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings (about once a week). Avoid soggy soil.

🌫️ Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep clean and vibrant.

📏 Size: Grows 2–6 feet tall indoors with proper care.

🐾 Pet-friendly?: ❌ Not pet-friendly (toxic if ingested).

🪴 Where It Looks Best: Statement corners, well-lit shelves, or decorative floor pots near east- or west-facing windows.

💡 Pro Tip: Rotate regularly to encourage upright, balanced growth and prevent leaning toward light sources.
