Rubber Plant 'Robusta'
Another reliable, resilient option for indoor gardening, the rubber plant comes in many colours. We’re going to look at two of the most common varieties that you may have already seen.
The deeper, darker maroon and purple leaves of the Ficus elastica ‘Burgundy’ are an easy way to introduce a variety of coloured foliage into your home. With its tight growth habit and option to grow up to 2m tall, it’ll be prefect for a large entrance or hallway.
