Description: Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is a popular cultivar of the rubber plant, known for its striking dark foliage. This plant typically grows to about 1.8 to 2.4 meters (6 to 8 feet) in height indoors, and can reach up to 12 meters (40 feet) or more in outdoor conditions in tropical climates, though it can be kept smaller with regular pruning. The leaves are large, oval-shaped, and glossy, with a deep burgundy to almost black hue, especially prominent in new growth.

Foliage: The standout feature of Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is its deep, dark, and glossy leaves. Each leaf is a rich burgundy to dark green color, creating a dramatic and sophisticated look. The leaves are thick, leathery, and can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) long, providing a lush and tropical appearance.

Growth Habit: This plant has a sturdy, upright growth habit with a single trunk that can develop aerial roots over time. It is relatively fast-growing under ideal conditions and can become quite large if not pruned regularly. However, it can be easily maintained as a smaller, bushy plant with occasional trimming.

Cultivation: Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is versatile and can be grown both indoors and outdoors in Australia, depending on the climate. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. When grown indoors, it prefers a well-lit spot away from harsh, direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch. Outdoors, it should be planted in a sheltered position with partial shade.

Soil: The plant prefers well-drained, fertile soil. A high-quality potting mix with good drainage is ideal for container growth. When planting in the ground, ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.

Watering: Allow the top few centimeters (1-2 inches) of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to avoid waterlogged conditions. During the growing season (spring and summer), keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down.

Pruning: Pruning can be done to maintain the desired shape and size. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage bushier growth. Pruning can also help control the plant's height if space is limited.

Pests and Diseases: Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is generally pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by common indoor plant pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Regularly inspect the plant and treat any infestations promptly with appropriate insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues.

Uses: This versatile plant is perfect for use as a statement indoor plant, adding a touch of tropical elegance to any room. It can also be used in outdoor landscapes in frost-free areas, where it can grow larger and serve as a focal point in the garden. Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is also popular for its air-purifying qualities, making it a beneficial addition to indoor spaces.

Care Tips:

  • Place the plant in a location with bright, indirect light.
  • Water thoroughly but allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings.
  • Use a well-draining potting mix or soil.
  • Fertilise monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser.
  • Wipe the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them shiny.

By incorporating Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' into your home or garden, you can enjoy its dramatic, dark foliage and low-maintenance care, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and air quality of your space.

Only for the pale skinned ones
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great coverage and texture! However, it left a white cast over olive toned skin. I looked sick. But looked perfect on my pasty redhead daughter.

Great everyday sunscreen
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really impressed with this sunscreen. It’s a bit thick going on, but a little goes a long way. Once applied, it feels lightweight, not greasy or oily at all. Provides great coverage and protection, definitely a great product I’ll keep using.

The BEST sunscreen I've found
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my MUST HAVE sunscreen. I've had almost every type of skin cancer (thankfully, caught early), so I NEED good sun protection, especially on my face. I have very fair skin. This product leaves a bit of a white cast, but after a short period of time, that white case is absorbed. The white cast of a mineral sunscreen might look chalky on a person with darker skin. The BEST thing about this sunscreen is I can put it on my eyelids and under my eyes, it doesn't irritate my eyes AT ALL. The other well-known sunscreen I used for a long time really made my eyes sting if a bit got into them. This is my favorite sunscreen of all time.

Solid mineral SPF with light coverage effect
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m used to La Roche-Posay’s chemical sunscreens, so this was my first time trying their mineral version. The texture is actually quite nice for a mineral formula. It spreads evenly and doesn’t feel gritty or chalky. That said, it does take a bit longer to fully absorb compared to chemical SPFs. I’m already very pale, and I still notice a slight white cast. It’s not extreme, but it’s there. To be fair, most mineral sunscreens tend to do this, especially those using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Interestingly, on my skin it almost behaves like a very light tinted sunscreen. It slightly blurs and softens the appearance of minor blemishes and redness, which I appreciate on minimal-makeup days. It provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection and feels gentle on sensitive skin. I haven’t experienced irritation, pilling, or breakouts. It layers reasonably well over moisturizer but benefits from being applied in thin, well-blended layers, which adds some time to my morning routine so it's a little inconvenient. Overall, it’s a solid mineral option with good protection. Just expect a bit more blending time and a subtle cast.

Great for pregnancy (or regular use)
Style: SPF 50, Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I searched far and wide for a safe mineral-based sunscreen for pregnancy. I settled on this one and I was not disappointed. It saved my skin from a lot of sunburn this summer! As other reviewers mentioned, it is harder to rub into the skin and can leave a whiteish tint, but that’s a small price to pay for a pregnancy-safe option.
