Ficus elastica 'Pink Camouflage'
🌿 Plant Care Tips
Ficus elastica 'Pink Camouflage' is a variegated cultivar of the rubber plant (Ficus elastica), native to tropical regions of South and Southeast Asia, including India and Malaysia. The leaves emerge folded in a burgundy sheath, unfurling into glossy oval leaves with variegation of burgundy, pink and apricot. New leaves begin burgundy and transform in hue as they mature.
Native to: Tropical forests of India and Malaysia, with large oval glossy leaves emerging from a burgundy sheath.
Water: Allow the soil to almost dry out fully between waterings. This plant prefers a ddry back cycle rather than constant moisture.
Light: Provide bright filtered light or a few hours of morning or late afternoon sun. Too little light and the pink hues will fade; too much harsh direct sunlight, especially midday, may scorch the foliage.
Humidity: Moderate indoor humidity is fine. It doesn’t require high humidity above 70 %, and excess misting can encourage fungal issues on the leaves.
Temperature: Best kept between approximately 18–26°C and not below 15 °C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature swings.
