Need help! Just this beauty and it says it’s Ficus robusta, but what kind? App identifies as Rubber plant but its top of the leaves are very very dark and underneath it has red going through it

It’s a burgundy rubber tree! You should be able to search “burgundy ficus” or “rubber tree”!

PS: check for spider mites! I’ve had 3 and each one came with spider mites! It could be where I live in NY, but I suggest treating with insecticide once every other month

Oh no! I’m in Northern Ireland 👋 I haven’t seen any spider mites yet but my plants usually get swarmed with trips and spring tails 😭  
I always repot the plants as soon as I get them home, but these I order online and I do t want them to stress even more. I think the journey in a small box across the country was enough 🤣
