Attention Gardeners, are you looking for Ficus plants that will make your garden stand out? Look no further than rubber fig, also known as Ficus Elastica burgundy! With its stunning, burgundy-colored leaves, it has several other names such as Indian rubber fig, Indian rubber tree plant, burgundy rubber plant, burgundy rubber tree, and Abidjan black prince. It belongs to the Ficus family and is native to Southeast Asia.  

Ficus burgundy is a popular perennial plant with dark green leaves, deep reddish variegation, and a glossy sheen. It features a large green trunk resembling an elephant's foot or tusk and is also known as the fiddle leaf fig. This dramatic and vigorous plant is perfect for any home or office room. This burgundy Ficus rubber plant is a fast-growing tropical plant, that can grow up to 10 feet indoors with glossy, oval-shaped leaves measuring 4 inches in width.  

The flowers of the Ficus burgundy are small and insignificant and bloom during spring and summer. However, it is primarily grown for its attractive, burgundy-colored leaves rather than its flowers.  

To propagate the Ficus burgundy, you can use stem cuttings. Simply take a healthy stem cutting with a few leaves and place it in a glass of water. After a few weeks, roots will start to develop, and you can transfer the cutting to a pot with well-draining soil. Another method is to propagate using air layering, where you encourage roots to grow on a section of the stem while it is still attached to the parent plant. 

Additionally, the Ficus plant's stems and leaves can be toxic to humans or pets if consumed in large amounts, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and paralysis, so it's crucial to prevent children and pets. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to Ficus burgundy care, it has moderate watering needs. The soil must remain consistently moist without becoming soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's best to let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again. You can test the soil's moisture content by inserting your finger into it. If it feels dry, it's time to water your rubber fig tree. 

When watering, be sure to completely saturate the soil and let it drain out of the pot.This helps to flush out any accumulated salts and ensures that the roots receive sufficient hydration. However, avoid leaving your Ficus burgundy rubber fig sitting in standing water, as this can also lead to root problems. 

During the winter months, when your Ficus plant is in its dormant phase, you can reduce the frequency of watering. Allow the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings, but still ensure that it doesn't completely dry out. 

Remember, each environment is unique, so it's important to observe your burgundy ficus and adjust your watering routine accordingly. If the leaves start to droop or turn yellow, it could be a sign of overwatering or underwatering. Finding the right balance will help keep your Ficus Burgundy happy and healthy! 

Light Requirements 

The Ficus Burgundy thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its dark foliage. It enjoys being near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. However, it's important to avoid placing it in direct sunlight as the intense rays can scorch the leaves. 

If you don't have a well-lit area in your home, don't worry! The Ficus Burgundy can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly, and its leaves might not develop their full burgundy color. You can also supplement its light requirements with artificial grow lights to ensure it gets the necessary light for healthy growth. 

Remember to rotate your rubber plant every few weeks to ensure even light exposure on all sides. This will help prevent your rubber fig from leaning towards the light source and promote balanced growth. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use a well-drained soil that is designed specifically for your succulent. These specialty soil mixes have been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. Commercial succulent soil is affordable and available online or at Home Depot. We believe the best option is to use our specialty succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your burgundy ficus rubber plant to thrive.  If you don't mind getting a bit of dirt on your hands and are okay with a basic soil for your succulents, then you can save some money and make your own mix by simply combining healthy natural garden soil with equal parts of sand or perlite. 

When it comes to fertilizing, the Ficus Burgundy benefits from a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer. You can apply it once a year during the growing season (spring). During the winter months, when your ficus plant is in its dormant phase, you can reduce or completely stop fertilizing. This allows your ficus rubber plant to rest and prepare for new growth in the following season. 

Remember to always water your ficus indoor plant before applying fertilizer to avoid burning the roots. And don't forget to wipe off any excess fertilizer from the leaves to prevent damage. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Ficus Burgundy is typically suited for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11, which means it can tolerate temperatures as low as 35°F. However, it's important to note that this Ficus plant prefers warmer temperatures and may suffer damage if exposed to prolonged cold or frost. 

In terms of temperature, the Ficus Burgundy thrives in average room temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. It can tolerate slightly higher or lower temperatures, but extreme fluctuations or prolonged exposure to very high or low temperatures can negatively impact its growth. 

When it comes to humidity, the Ficus Burgundy prefers moderate to high humidity levels. It can tolerate average household humidity, but it will appreciate some extra humidity, especially during dry winter months. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the rubber fig plant or using a humidifier. 

Remember to avoid placing the plant near drafts or vents, as sudden temperature changes and dry air can stress the Ficus Burgundy. With the right temperature and humidity conditions, your plant will thrive and maintain its beautiful foliage.

Very good audio receiver for my tower speakers and record player set up
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
I have had my 1980s Roger sound lab CG 82 Tower speakers connected to a 1999 Technics audio receiver. I use this set up for Radio and my record player. After many good years, the low end on my audio receiver gave out. I have had it serviced before, but I have owned it for five years and it is a 27-year-old piece of gear that has seen better days. ChatGPT led me to this receiver. It took me less than five minutes to connect my speakers. What I love about this receiver is that it’s so simple to use. The radio signal is very good right out the box without an additional antenna. I was resistant to buying a Bluetooth receiver, but it connected to my iPad and my iPhone in seconds. Now I can play backing tracks through my Roger sound lab speaker speakers while I jam out on guitar. No issues with sound quality or anything like that. Runs cool and quiet. If you are a total audio file, you could buy something more expensive. I am a musician and I listen to vinyl. Mostly jazz and classical, and this is fine for my needs. For most people running a record player, looking to modernize with a Bluetooth enabled receiver, this will suit your needs.

LOVE IT - Great Performance and Great Price
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver, Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
Speaking as a self-described "audiophile" (but a true audiophile with deep pockets would likely laugh), this was one of the best gifts I've given to myself in recent years (as I have a fairly large music library of nearly 600 albums of 1/3 vinyl, 2/3 CDs and some cassettes). Bought mine back in March--used to be $200, but when I saw it for $150 any hesitation went out the window and I grabbed it. I have been in love with it ever since. Fabulous sound and power (do you really need more than 100 watts per channel?), great remote control (not used to that, believe it or not), and it lives up to Sony quality. Powers my vintage components perfectly: > MCS Series 6202 Belt-Driven Turntable (had it since early 80s) > Nacamichi BX-300 Cassette Deck > Sony DVP-NS725P Disc Player (DVD but used mainly for CDs - audio-only connection) > LG TV connected via optical-to-analog adapter > KEF Reference Series 103/3 Stereo Speakers Interesting observation about the way the ports are labeled on the back: what would traditionally be identified as a tape deck port (with IN/OUT) is just "Input 4," and while it's connected to my tape deck for playback, the REC-OUT is connected to a USB audio adapter to digitally record anything (mostly vinyl of course) to my laptop for mastering and iPod/digital library access. The Bluetooth connectivity is awesome as well with powerful range - great for playing music from mobile devices (phone and iPod Classic with BT adapter). The front line-in 3.5 port, identified as a "Portable" is also a great feature. At first, I was surprised that there was no input for optical, however since digital-to analog adapters are inexpensive and readily available, I think it's best to leave it that way. Would rather have the option, rather than an optical-only port that would otherwise go unused unless one had a component that required it. HOWEVER, if I were to make any improvements, it would be to add a USB Out port (preferably on the front), for digital recording on a PC. However again, since adapters are inexpensive and accessible, and for the price I paid for this device, I ain't gonna complain. Front level analog balance, bass and treble controls would also be nice, but you have access to all that through the menu. If you feel due for a simple, powerful and awesome stereo receiver/amplifier upgrade without breaking your monthly budget, this is a winner.

Sony STR-DH190 is an Amazing Deal. Don't pass it up.
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
I bought my STR-DH190 receiver to put in my "man cave" pool room. I respect SONY products, but I realized this 2-channel stereo receiver was a budget item, seemingly so inexpensive it must just be an entry-point-only receiver. I was shocked by its quality, sturdy construction, versatility and audiophile sound. It has Bluetooth connectivity, and a phono input for turntables. I hooked up a CD player, turntable, reel-to-reel, cassette deck, iPod, sub woofer and two sets of high end bookshelf speakers. The fronts are SONY Sscs5 3-Way 3-Driver Bookshelf Speakers. The rears are Polk. The sound is shocking, and everyone who hears it can't believe how it rocks. Now that this receiver is actually on sale at almost a "give-away" price, I'm tempted to buy another one as a backup in case one of my other systems needs a replacement receiver. It is Bluetooth ready, so I pair an Echo Dot with it for streaming. It is an amazingly versatile and reliable product. Highly Recommended.

Quite Good, but maybe lacking a few inputs, Optical Audio and AM radio
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
Very basic, but seems to be the usual good quality Sony product. I bought this when my decades-old SOny receiver finally bit the dust. This receiver, at a decent price is a LOT more basic than my decades-old earlier receiver. That receiver had multiple inputs-many which I didn't use but were there for audiophiles all the same. Things like inputs for DAT, inputs for MD audio. analog videos in and out, Super video in and out, Component video, standard cassette deck, phono, component video (multiple), DVD in and out, component video, and more audio channel options I can't even remember. And as old as this receiver was it actually had Optical audio as well! I REALLY wanted to replace that old receiver with the exact same thing. albeit the modern model but that doesn't exist. SO I bought this one. Take a look and you'll see very few inputs, but oddly it had all the ones I actually needed for my old set-up-with NO extras though. I'm kind of shocked that this receiver doesn't even have the Optical audio which is kind of a standard now for modern TVs and I had to actually buy a cheap little 'converter box' which takes the optical cable and converts the digital audio into the standard RCA analog audio and I plug that into one of the available inputs in the receiver so that I can play my TV sound through the receiver/stereo system. I'm still kind of shocked that this receiver doesn't have that Optical, that would be the first thing i'd add to really make this a bargain and much more desirable. So I had to have a receiver for my old cassette deck, phono, etc. and standard CD player as well as DVD/Blu Ray audio sound (as concert DVDs don't sound too good on the standard speakers which come with modern TVs. So i've used EVRY input in this new unit and I really couldn't have bought it if it had a single less input. So in addition to having an input for Optical audio the other thing I wished it had was a receiver for AM radio, even if AM isn't too popular anymore. So maybe the lack of the Optical audio, additional inputs for other sources and no AM radio is the reason why this receiver is so reasonably priced, but well, i'm happy with it all the same.

Great product
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
This is a great basic receiver. It's very easy to understand, setup and operate. This receiver sounds excellent and includes Bluetooth so I can stream Apple Music and Spotify to the receiver. My only negative comments would be that the speaker connections are the spring-loaded terminals which require thin gauge speaker wires or Flex Pin Banana Plugs. Also, you should be aware the FM Antenna (provided) is a wire antenna utilizing a strange plug-in adapter. It was perfectly adequate for what I needed however I think it could be an issue if you were in a remote area that required a mast antenna.
