Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Large, glossy leaves in deep green with burgundy tones give Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' a bold presence, with reddish sheaths adding colour as new leaves unfold. This evergreen Rubber Fig makes a handsome feature beside a bright window or in a large pot on a sheltered patio. Its upright young growth can be encouraged to branch with pruning. In the ground it develops into a substantial, spreading tree with vigorous roots, so containers are the better choice for most suburban gardens; keep garden specimens well away from buildings, paving and underground services. Choose bright, indirect light indoors, or a sheltered, frost-free position outdoors with filtered light and protection from harsh afternoon sun. Use a free-draining potting mix and water thoroughly when the upper few centimetres have dried, allowing excess water to drain away. Water less during cooler months, and wipe dusty leaves with a soft, damp cloth. Wear gloves when pruning, as the milky sap can irritate skin, and keep the plant away from children and pets likely to chew it.
Height In a container: commonly 2–3 m with pruning; in the ground: 8–15 m in sheltered, frost-free conditions.
Width In a container: commonly 1–2 m with pruning; in the ground: 6–12 m.
