Over 1 Foot Tall 

The Ficus Tineke, a stunning variety of the Rubber Tree, is known for its beautiful variegated leaves with shades of green, cream, and pink. This plant is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a touch of elegance to their indoor garden.

Care Level:

Easy to Moderate, with attention to light and watering

Features:

• Variegated leaves with a mix of green, cream, and pink, creating a striking visual contrast
• Upright, bushy growth habit that adds structure and height to any space
• Air-purifying qualities that help improve indoor air quality
• 6" Pot

Care Requirements:

• Light: Ficus Tineke thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but the colors may become less pronounced. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Ficus Tineke prefers evenly moist soil but can handle brief periods of drought. Overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot.
• Humidity: This plant enjoys higher humidity levels, but it can adapt to average household humidity. Occasional misting can help maintain the leaf vibrancy and prevent browning edges.
• Temperature: Ficus Tineke prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as these can cause stress and leaf drop.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a standard houseplant mix with added perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
