6" Ficus Tineke, Variegated Rubber Plant, Real Ficus Tree, Indoor Garden Greenhouse Plant Room Decor Office Plants Live Real Plants Indoor Live Plants Indoor Plants Live Houseplants by Plants for Pets

Description

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 perhaps a tinge of pink. Precise coloring will vary, depending on light and care. No two leaves will boast identical patterns, which is all part of the fun. You will receive one Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’ fully rooted in a 6” 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 surface of the foliage will suffer. Display with a spider plant, a zz plant, a peace lily, a prayer plant, and other live house plants as office plants, plant decor for bedroom, a mini greenhouse or an indoor greenhouse. Give as housewarming gifts with plant pots, planters for indoor plants, or a wall planter. ‘Tineke’ desires well-draining soil that is consistently lightly moist; it's very much not a fan of soggy feet. One clue that you could be overwatering is if leaves turn yellow and drop, particularly those that aren’t the oldest. Keeping your space in the 60-to-80-degree range will please this indoor plant, as will humidity elevated a bit above average levels. A humidifier, grouping plants, and a pebble tray are some of the ways, in combination or solo, to make ‘Tineke’ feel as if it’s residing in a tropical forest. Like virtually any rubber plant, this house plant 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. Hardiness Zone 10 (30 to 40 F). PET TOXICITY WARNING: While all Plants for Pets purchases help to support local animal shelters, we encourage you to display your new plant in a location that your beloved pets cannot access.
