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

Ficus elastica 'Ruby' brings rich colour to a bright room with its large, glossy leaves patterned in deep green, cream and pink. New foliage opens with its strongest ruby-red flush before gradually softening, while the upright stems develop a handsome, tree-like shape. It makes an impressive floor plant in a decorative pot and can also grow on a warm, sheltered patio. In the ground it may eventually become a substantial tree with vigorous surface roots, so keep it well away from buildings, paving and drains. Give 'Ruby' plenty of bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation, with gentle morning sun if the plant is introduced to it gradually. Protect it from Perth’s harsh afternoon sun, cold draughts and frost. Use a free-draining premium potting mix, water thoroughly when the upper mix has partly dried, and never leave the pot standing in water. Feed during active growth and wipe the broad leaves occasionally to remove dust. Its milky sap can irritate skin and the mouth, so wear gloves when pruning and keep it away from children and pets that may chew it.
Height In a container: 1.5–3 m, depending on pot size and pruning; in the ground: 6–10 m or more in a warm, sheltered position.
Width In a container: 1–1.5 m; in the ground: 6–9 m, with a spreading canopy and surface roots.
