This listing includes 2 Ficus elastica ‘Burgundy’ live starter plants with established root systems. Also known as the Burgundy Rubber Tree, this tropical foliage plant is recognized for its broad, glossy leaves and deep burgundy-green coloration. You will receive young starter plants similar to those shown in the listing photos.
These are small starter plants, so leaves may naturally have minor cracks, bends, or other cosmetic imperfections. New foliage will develop as the plants continue growing. Natural differences in leaf count, coloration, shape, and overall appearance should be expected.
The plants are grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation, but the pots are not included. Each plant is shipped in its soil pod, which is carefully wrapped for transit. Do not remove or disturb the soil pod immediately after arrival.
Plant Condition Disclosure:
Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.
Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
Important Note:
You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
Customer Notice:
Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.
Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.
Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.
If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:
• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label

• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant
Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
