Ficus Tineke

Ficus Tineke is a bright light houseplant that sports striking variegation with faint splashes of cream and pink. Also given the nickname 'Rubber Tree,' the Ficus elastica Tineke grows in tree-like form and can grow to heights reaching 5 to 6 feet tall indoors. These bright variegated rubber trees enjoy bright indirect light growing conditions and can handle heavier levels of sun than most house plants. With a semi-succulent foliage, the hardy indoor plants are also extremely drought tolerant. We recommend allowing your Ficus to dry out in between each watering to avoid issues of root rot. Additionally, your rubber plant would appreciate a well draining potting mix and a planter with drainage holes. To ensure your plant will grow to its peak ability, apply a slow release fertilizer in the growing seasons of spring and summer. The Ficus Tineke could be the houseplant for you if you want a tough plant that can reach impressive heights within a few years. With the white and pink variegated leaves and a low maintenance care regimen, the Tineke is the prefect plant to add some vertical flare and color to a space.
