Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’, also known as the Ruby Rubber Plant, is a striking and highly sought-after variegated form of the classic Rubber Tree. Its broad, glossy leaves feature a bold mix of deep green, creamy white, and vibrant pink-red tones, making it one of the most colorful indoor statement plants available.

This variety has a sturdy, upright growth habit and can reach impressive heights indoors, adding vertical interest to any room. With proper care, its vibrant foliage becomes more pronounced, especially when placed in bright, indirect light. Lower light may cause the pink and cream variegation to fade, while too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.

The Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’ is not only a luxury ornamental plant but also known for being relatively low-maintenance, making it perfect for plant enthusiasts and interior designers seeking a bold splash of color in modern living spaces.

Size and Dimensions

Light

Thrives in bright indirect light. Can tolerate medium light but avoid direct sun which may scorch the leaves.

Species Origin

The Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’ is a cultivated variegated form of the classic Ficus elastica, also known as the Rubber Plant. Native to Southeast Asia, the wild species has long been admired for its resilience and striking, glossy green foliage.

Through careful horticultural selection, growers developed variegated cultivars such as Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’ and Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’. The Ruby stands out with its vibrant pink-red tones layered over creamy white and deep green, creating a bold tricolor effect that is unmatched among indoor plants.

Unlike its solid-green ancestor, the Ruby was specifically bred for its ornamental value and colorful foliage, making it a favorite for collectors and interior designers. Its combination of durability, ease of care, and dramatic coloration has elevated it from a traditional houseplant to a modern design statement

Behind Every Vessel Is a Story

Our planters begin as raw clay in the hands of skilled ceramicists – many of whom craft each piece by hand right here in California. Whether wheel-thrown or slip-cast, every vessel is shaped with patience, precision, and purpose. From kiln to studio, no two are exactly alike. These are pieces with presence – designed not just to hold life, but to reflect it.

Grown in Lava Rock

Our premium lava rock blend is specially formulated for Plantwell self-watering planters, giving trees and plants the perfect balance of moisture, aeration, and stability. Crafted from black lava rock, pumice, calcined clay, and horticultural charcoal, this inorganic mix promotes strong root growth, prevents rot, and keeps nutrients available without breaking down over time. Designed to wick water evenly while maintaining essential air pockets, it’s the ideal foundation for healthy, long-lasting plants.
