A stunning variety of the rubber plant, Ficus elastica Tineke is admired for its variegated foliage. The broad, glossy leaves display a blend of creamy white, soft green, and deep emerald tones, often with a subtle pink blush along the edges and stems. Its striking patterns make it look like a living piece of art, adding elegance to any indoor space.
Light
Ficus elastica prefers bright, indirect light but does cope quite well in lower light conditions.
Avoid direct sunlight as this may scorch the leaves.
Watering
Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause leaf drop.
Humidity
This Ficus has no specific humidity requirements, although it will benefit from an occasional misting.
For an added boost, consider moving your plant to a steamier room such as a kitchen or bathroom.
Feed
Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
Height & Growth Rate
Can grow to many metres tall in its native environment. Indoors however, it is up to you: simply trim to maintain your desired height. Typical indoor heights are anything from 30cm to 2m. Moderate to fast-growing.
