This plant typically grows to about 1.8 to 2.4 meters (6 to 8 feet) in height indoors, and can reach up to 12 meters (40 feet) or more in outdoor conditions in tropical climates, though it can be kept smaller with regular pruning. The leaves are large, oval-shaped, and glossy, with a deep burgundy to almost black hue, especially prominent in new growth. Foliage: The standout feature of Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is its deep, dark, and glossy leaves. Each leaf is a rich burgundy to dark green color, creating a dramatic and sophisticated look.
