Know before you buy
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives plenty of natural light without direct, harsh sun will keep its dark foliage vibrant and healthy.
No, the Ficus 'Burgundy' is toxic if ingested and contains latex, which can cause irritation. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is completely inaccessible to pets and small children.
The Ficus 'Burgundy' prefers consistently moist soil. Check the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
While it arrives in a compact 4-inch pot, the Ficus 'Burgundy' has a tree-like growth habit. With proper care and occasional repotting as it matures, it can grow into a striking indoor tree.
To keep the foliage looking its best, gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks. This removes dust buildup, which helps the plant photosynthesize more efficiently and maintains its signature glossy appearance.
