Ficus elastica Plant 'Burgundy'

The must-have houseplant! Also called the rubber plant for its thick, glossy foliage. Due to the size of the leaves, it's important to clean them regularly to prevent dust buildup. The Burgundy variety offers a dark and modern color. New leaves are wrapped in a red sheath, and its dark black foliage gives it a timeless look. Like all fig trees, it doesn't like to be moved! From the same family, the elastica variety is one of the easiest to care for.
