The Sill Ficus Rubber Plant

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, placing it in a spot with filtered sunlight will help maintain its signature deep, glossy burgundy-green foliage and prevent it from becoming leggy.

No, this plant is toxic to both cats and dogs if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.

Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Because it is sensitive to overwatering, always ensure your pot has proper drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

The glossy leaves can collect dust over time, which inhibits photosynthesis. Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks to keep them clean and help the plant absorb light efficiently.

The Ficus Burgundy has an upright, architectural growth habit. While it can grow quite tall over time, its vertical nature makes it a great choice for corners or tight spaces where you want height without a wide, sprawling footprint.
