Variegated 'Tineke' Ficus Tree Houseplant | 8in Grow Pot; Indirect Light | Element by Altman Plants

Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’ is a variegated form of the beloved rubber tree. The glossy oval leaves feature an enticing, relaxing palate of greens, cream or ivory, and quite possibly a tinge or cast of pink. Precise coloring will vary, depending on light and care. And that's part of the fun! No two leaves will boast identical patterns. You will receive one Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’ fully rooted in a 8” pot. Find your ficus a nice spot bathed in bright but indirect light. This will help maintain the vibrant variegation. While the plant will do fine with less light, the visual party on the surface of the foliage will dim, so to speak. ‘Tineke’ desires well-draining soil that is consistently lightly moist; it's very much not a fan of soggy feet. Keeping your space in the 60-to-80-degree range will please 'Tineke’, as will humidity elevated a bit above average levels. A humidifier, grouping plants, and a pebble tray are some of the ways to make ‘Tineke’ feel as if it’s residing in a tropical forest. Like virtually any rubber plant, this variegated ficus carries with it some serious growth potential, possibly reaching ceiling level with age and serving for many years as a fabulous anchor of its space. You can control this trajectory with a conservative repotting schedule or pruning.
