Ficus elastica 'Tineke,' commonly known as the Variegated Rubber Tree, is a visually striking houseplant with thick, rubbery, ovate-shaped leaves that display stunning variegation. Its foliage features a mix of light and dark green splotches with creamy yellow margins, while new leaves unfurl from pinkish sheaths, adding a touch of warmth and elegance.

With its bold variegation and minimal care requirements, Tineke makes a perfect statement plant for homes, offices, or summer patios.

Ficus Basic Care: Easy/Medium

• Water: Let the soil almost completely dry out between watering. These plants appreciate a consistent watering schedule, as they can be quite dramatic when neglected.
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light.
• Soil/Drainage: Best in a loose, well-draining tropical mix.
• Temperature/Humidity: Prefers warm conditions and should be kept away from drafty areas. While higher humidity is ideal, it can adapt to normal household humidity levels.
