Ficus Elastica Tineke

• 🪴 General care: Moderate

Ficus Elastica 'Tineke,' also known as the Variegated Rubber Plant, is a resilient and relatively low-maintenance plant. It's perfect for both beginner and experienced plant owners due to its hardy nature and beautiful variegated foliage.

With the right care, it will thrive and add a striking touch to your space.

• 💦 Water: Moderate

Water Ficus Elastica 'Tineke' when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry, typically once a week during warmer months. It prefers slightly moist soil but doesn't like being overwatered.

In winter, reduce the watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.

• ☀️ Light: Bright Indirect

This plant loves bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vibrant variegated leaves. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can cause the leaves to burn or fade in color.

If kept in low light for extended periods, the plant may lose its variegation and growth could slow down significantly.

• 🌱 Growth: Upright with broad, variegated leaves

Ficus Elastica 'Tineke' grows upright and can reach a moderate height, often with large, thick leaves that feature a beautiful blend of green, cream, and pink.

• ✂️ Maintenance: Low

Ficus 'Tineke' is generally low-maintenance but benefits from regular leaf cleaning. Wipe the large leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their glossy appearance.

Prune it occasionally to encourage bushier growth, and remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and looking its best.
