The "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica, also known as the "Ruby" rubber plant, is a striking variety of the rubber tree plant, with beautiful pink, green, and cream-colored leaves. This plant adds a touch of color and elegance to any indoor space. Follow these care instructions to keep your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica healthy and thriving:

  1. Light: Place your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica in a location with bright, indirect light. The variegated leaves require more light than the non-variegated varieties to maintain their vibrant colors. However, avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves and cause the colors to fade.

  2. Water: Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Water your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot, and then allow the excess water to drain completely. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.

  3. Humidity: "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it will appreciate a boost in humidity, especially during dry winter months. To increase humidity, you can place a tray filled with water and pebbles underneath the pot, mist the leaves occasionally, or use a humidifier.

  4. Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 65-85°F (18-29°C) for optimal growth. "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica can tolerate a range of temperatures but avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) or sudden temperature changes.

  5. Fertilizer: Feed your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a half-strength solution to avoid over-fertilizing. Reduce feeding to once every 2-3 months during fall and winter.

  6. Pruning: Prune your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica as needed to maintain its shape and size. Remove any yellow or brown leaves and trim the tips if they become damaged. You can also pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth.

  7. Repotting: Repot your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica every 2-3 years or when the roots outgrow the pot. Choose a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one. Be gentle when handling the roots, and water the plant thoroughly after repotting.

  8. Pest control: Keep an eye out for common pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Pet-friendly or toxic to pets?

According to the ASPCA, Ficus elastica, including the "Ruby" variegated variety, is toxic to cats and dogs. If ingested, it can cause symptoms such as oral irritation, excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing due to the presence of proteolytic enzymes and calcium oxalate crystals. It's best to keep your "Ruby" variegated Ficus elastica out of reach of pets to prevent any potential health issues. If you suspect your pet has ingested any part of the plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Fantastic natural ingredients, but the diaper cream falls short on actual rashes.
Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size
I purchased the Tubby Todd Baby Skin Care Bundle because I really value that it uses great all-natural ingredients and is free of harsh chemicals. For the most part, I’ve been very happy with the quality. What I loved: The Ingredients: It feels great using products that are clean and safe for baby skin. Hair + Body Wash: The soap/shampoo combo is gentle and works well. All Over Ointment: This is a staple; it’s excellent for dry skin and general moisturizing. The downside: I had to dock one star specifically for the Diaper Paste. While I wanted to love it, it just didn't help when my baby had an actual diaper rash. It might be fine for prevention, but it wasn't effective for treatment. I eventually switched to A+D Diaper Rash Cream, and it completely cured the rashes in no time. Verdict: I would still recommend this bundle for the shampoo and the All Over Ointment, but I suggest keeping a tube of A+D on hand for when you need heavy-duty rash relief.

WILL USE NOTHING ELSE
Scent: Fragrance-Free - Standard Size
Cannot recommend these products enough. My girls have sensitive skin and eczema. Dry patches, gone after a day with the everyday ointment. Eczema break out, gone the next day after applying twice. Diaper cream is the only cream I use when the diaper rash is bad and nothing else works. I try to use sparingly as it is more on the pricier side, so use only when I see a rash starting and not everyday use, but easily could if not worried about the price point. The soap is the only soap we have used. Last a long time, I have twin girls and we just finished our first container of soap that lasted us 5 months.

Great sunscreen, easy to use and absorbs well
I would recommend this product because it's super easy to apply and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. The SPF 50 gives good sun protection, and it feels lightweight on my face. Plus, it's hydrating thanks to the hyaluronic acid. Definitely a good choice for daily use, and I like that it doesn't clog pores.
