Ficus 'Burgundy' - The Burgundy Bounce: Striking Indoor Tree in 10" Pot

Say hello to the Burgundy Bounce! Native to the lush locales of India and Southeast Asia, the Ficus 'Burgundy' is ready to boogie its way into your home with its thick, leathery, glossy dark green leaves and snazzy pink to purplish stipules. While it may not grow into a 200-foot colossus in your living room (good news for your ceiling), it still packs a punch as a stunning statement piece. Note: This rubbery character prefers the limelight—give it bright, indirect light to keep it happy. Oh, and a heads-up for pet owners and latex-allergic folks: it's a little toxic, so better keep its dance moves out of reach!

Benefits:

• Eye-Catching Foliage: Dark glossy leaves with unique pinkish stipules make this plant a showstopper.
• Air-Purifying: Acts as a green lung for your indoor space, improving air quality.
• Character: Adds a lively, bold touch to any room.
• Moderate Maintenance: Needs a bit more light and water, but nothing too demanding.

Care Instructions:

The Burgundy Bounce loves to soak up bright, indirect light—think of it as the VIP section at the plant disco. Keep the soil consistently moist, but don’t go overboard; it’s into moderation. During the growing season, you can treat it to a monthly dose of houseplant fertilizer. Just remember, it’s a drama-queen that doesn't appreciate being moved around too much.

Décor Tips:

Place the Burgundy Bounce in a chic, ceramic pot that complements its dark leaves. It looks fab standing solo as a statement floor plant, or you can create a mini jungle by grouping it with other lush, leafy friends. It pairs well with minimalist furniture—the plant world's equivalent of the little black dress.

Décor Vibes:

• Modern Chic: Its glossy leaves and dramatic stature fit perfectly in trendy, modern spaces.
• Urban Jungle: Ideal for adding a touch of the wild to your indoor haven.
• Bohemian Bliss: Complements eclectic decor with its bold personality.
