Ficus Tineke

What is Ficus Tineke?

The Ficus Tineke (Ficus elastica), the vibrant younger sibling of our popular Burgundy Rubber Tree. Boasting variegated leaves in hues of creamy pink, yellow, and green, this rubber tree is a captivating presence in any interior setting, whether it graces your space solo or thrives amidst your collection.

With the Ficus Tineke you get a dramatic look without the fuss. Flourishing in bright, indirect light and slightly moist soil, this plant thrives effortlessly. You can bid farewell to watering worries, as this low-maintenance gem is remarkably drought-tolerant, meaning you can get away with a missed watering here or there. We prefer placing this plant near a window where it can get some soft morning light but avoid the afternoon’s harsher rays as too much direct sunlight can scorch its colorful leaves. Keep in mind, pet owners, that the Ficus Tineke, like its rubber tree relatives, is not safe for furry companions. Although its leaves alone create a compelling statement, with dedicated care and time, your Ficus Tineke can gracefully grow to a remarkable height of up to 10 feet.
