Variegated Rubber Tree (Ficus tineke)

The Ficus Tineke (Ficus elastica 'Tineke') is a striking variegated houseplant known for its large, glossy leaves splashed with shades of cream, light green, and deep emerald. New growth often emerges with soft pink hues before maturing, adding even more visual interest to this elegant indoor tree. Easy to care for and full of personality, the Ficus Tineke makes a beautiful statement plant for bright homes and offices.

Fun Fact: New Ficus Tineke leaves emerge wrapped in a bright pink sheath called a stipule. Once the leaf unfurls, the sheath naturally dries up and falls away.
Light: Bright, indirect light. Plenty of light helps maintain its vibrant variegation, though it can tolerate some gentle morning sun.
Water: Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering, and allow excess water to drain away completely.
Soil: A well-draining indoor potting mix with good aeration.
Bloom: Rarely blooms indoors and is grown primarily for its colorful foliage.
Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings or air layering.
