Ruby is a variegated rubber tree whose broad, glossy leaves blend cream, sage green, and rosy pink, with each new leaf unfurling from a bright red sheath. It grows as a bold upright houseplant, gaining height steadily and anchoring a bright corner the way furniture does.

Bright, indirect light keeps the pink and cream tones strong; in dim rooms the color quiets toward green. Let the top couple inches of soil dry between waterings, wipe the leaves occasionally so they shine, and keep it away from cold drafts and heat vents.
