History/Lore

The Ruby Variegated Rubber Tree, scientifically known as Ficus elastica 'Ruby,' is a relatively recent plant cultivar that was developed in the late 20th century. This hybrid plant is the result of selective breeding between various Ficus elastica plants that are native to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. While the exact origins of this plant are not entirely clear, it is believed to have been created by crossbreeding Ficus elastica plants with naturally occurring mutations of striking variegated foliage.
