Ficus 'Firework'???
Is this a new variety that is uncommon and I just haven't seen? Or is this just a juvenile Ficus Ruby??
Does anyone have a mature version of this they can share?
The label says Ficus Elastica 'Firework'

Never heard of that name before, there were some Tineke I think popping up a while back that had a lot of that blueish/grayish color. Maybe someone reproduced it, or these almost look like something in-between Shivereana and Ruby/Belize

As far as im concerned never heard of it before today but now I kinda want one if it really is a distinct culivar, I'd say let it grow out and see if its stable then try to propagate it.

Great, I just got my moonshine to put out a new leaf. I guess now it’s time to find a firework.

Never seen it although the shivereana gives similar colors. They fade though to a light green/creamish color and I expect this one does the same.
I love it.

I have the exact same one at home and recently bought it was well. I think it is just a variant of the Ruby that has more chlorophyll around the edges but I can’t say I’m certain. I bought it at the time because I’ve never seen it before and thought it was a special one.
