How to grow and care for Ficus ‘Ruby’

Ficus ‘Ruby’ thrives in bright, indirect light where its pink, green, and cream foliage can flourish. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves. Plant in a well-draining potting mix and water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep it in a warm location above 12°C and away from cold drafts. Maintain moderate humidity and wipe the leaves regularly to remove dust. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser, along with indoor plant fertiliser in spring.
