Common Name: Pink Rubber Plant; Tricolor
Scientific Name: Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’; synonym Ficus decora 'Ruby'
Light: Bright, diffused light as color is better in brighter light. They can tolerate soft morning sunlight but should be moved out of the line of harsh direct rays in the afternoon to prevent singed leaves
Water: Water your rubber plant frequently—they like to be kept steadily moist but not soaked. Rubber plants are vulnerable to excessive dryness and do not tolerate drought well.
Care: Fertilize monthly during the growing season; keep away from drafts to reduce leaf droppage
Details: variegated waxy foliage of green, red, pink, and white to cream shades; new leaves have the reddest color before maturing to lighter colors
