FICUS RUBBER TINEKE 3 GALLON

Brighten your indoor oasis with the exquisite Ficus Rubber Plant 'Tineke'! This highly sought-after houseplant is a true work of art, celebrated for its stunning variegated leaves that display a beautiful mosaic of creamy white, soft pink, and shades of green. Each leaf is unique, unfurling with delicate pinkish-red new growth that matures into a vibrant, multi-colored display. The 'Tineke' adds a sophisticated, contemporary flair and a touch of natural artistry to any room, instantly becoming a focal point.

This elegant houseplant can grow to a stately 6 to 10 feet tall indoors with a spread of 2 to 3 feet, though its size can be easily managed through pruning. It thrives in bright, indirect light, which is crucial for maintaining its vibrant variegation. A spot near a sunny window with filtered light is ideal; avoid direct, harsh afternoon sun which can fade or scorch its delicate colors. While no houseplant is truly "animal-resistant" if a pet is determined, the Ficus elastica produces a milky sap that can be mildly irritating if ingested, so it's wise to keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.

To ensure your Ficus 'Tineke' flourishes and keeps its stunning colors, plant it in a well-draining potting mix. When repotting or refreshing the soil, adding a thin top layer of Watters Premium Mulch can be beneficial for houseplants. This helps to retain consistent moisture in the pot, discourages gnats, and slowly releases organic nutrients. For continuous healthy growth and to enhance its beautiful variegation, feed your Ficus Rubber Plant with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. Apply this fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the active growing seasons of spring and summer, reducing the frequency in fall and winter when the plant's growth naturally slows.
