Light:

Temperature:

• Moderate Temperatures: Maintain a temperature range between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Ficus Elastica Burgundy prefers consistent indoor temperatures. Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Humidity:

• Average Humidity: While adaptable to typical indoor humidity levels, occasional misting or placement on a humidity tray can be beneficial. This is especially important if your indoor environment is particularly dry.

Container:

• Appropriate Size: Choose a pot that allows for adequate root space but is not excessively large. Repot when the plant outgrows its container.

Fertilizing:

• Balanced Liquid Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter.

Pruning:

• Maintenance Pruning: Trim any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance. Prune to control its size if necessary. Ficus Elastica Burgundy generally requires minimal pruning.
