The Variegated Rubber Tree (Ficus elastica Ruby) is a stunning indoor plant that grows to 1-3 meters in containers, featuring dramatic glossy leaves with eye-catching ruby red, pink, green, and creamy white variegation. Best suited to morning sun or partial shade, this slow-growing beauty makes an ideal statement piece for indoor spaces, patios, and verandahs. While low-maintenance by nature, this plant prefers to dry out between waterings and requires bright light to maintain its vibrant coloring, making it perfect for those who appreciate striking foliage but tend to forget the watering can.
