The Burgundy houseplant grows best with bright, indirect light to keep its rich dark leaf color. That means a few feet away from a bright window, filtered by thin curtains or blinds. Do not expose to direct sunlight or the leaves may "burn."

We suggest watering the Burgundy once a week allowing the soil to drain and dry. The Burgundy can tolerate a few missed waterings, however it is less tolerant to over watering which can lead to root rot.

Plants like the Ficus Burgundy prefer temperatures of 65⁰F to 85F⁰. Avoid sudden temperature drops, or cold drafts as it may cause it to drop a few leaves. Do not expose to temperatures below 39F⁰.

Apply a balanced houseplant fertilizer to your Burgundy at half strength once every 1 - 3 months and watch your Burgundy plant grow.
