Rubber Tree Tineke: Variegated Beauty

The Rubber Tree Tineke (Ficus elastica 'Tineke') is a stunning variety of the classic Rubber Tree. Its large, leathery leaves are variegated with creamy white, gray-green, and sometimes even pink, creating a truly eye-catching display. This variety adds a touch of elegance and vibrancy to any indoor space.

Caring for Your Rubber Tree Tineke:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Some morning or evening sun can enhance variegation. Avoid harsh midday sun.
• Water: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
• Temperature: Maintain average room temperatures and keep away from cold drafts.
• Humidity: While it prefers higher humidity, it can tolerate average household conditions.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.

With its striking foliage and relatively easy care, the Rubber Tree Tineke is a beautiful and rewarding addition to any plant collection.
