Ficus tineke has stunning pink variegated foliage with hints of cream, green and white throughout the leaf.
Ficus tineke are similar to Ficus ruby, but the leaf margins turn white after the leaves mature.
Ficus care is relatively simple. Most Ficus plants prefer bright indirect light. Make sure your plant is in a well draining soil rich in organic matter and allow it to dry out almost completely between watering. Take care not to place your Ficus near a cold window or near a heat or air vent.
Fun fact: The scientific name for Ficus tineke is Ficus elastica and they are commonly referred to as a "Rubber tree"!
Additional information:
Ficus, commonly referred to as a "Fig" or "Rubber tree", is a large genus of plants that number over 800 different species. They are found on almost every continent and range from tropical to semi-temperate climate zones.
Ficus generally grow as shrubs and trees but some also grow as vines and epiphytes.
The more traditional Ficus that are commonly cultivated as house plants are the Elastica species, like Tineke and Ruby.
Most Ficus prefer to dry out between watering. They prefer bright indirect light and some species thrive in direct sun.
The plant arrived in good condition and is beautiful. It dropped some of the weaker younger leaves when I unpackaged it, but it wasn’t excessive. The reviews are kind of all over the place with their images of the plant. I prefer more of a single stem tree like version but mine came with several stems in more of a shrub like appearance. I’m giving it 5 stars bc it’s quality and does align with the product pictured by the company. I just wish it was more tree like and less bush. I considered trying to separate them but idk if I want to risk it.
I will say that I asked to add this plant after I placed my initial order and the team was great. My order hadn’t shipped yet so they sent me a new invoice and added it to my order with no delays or problems.

I received a perfectly healthy rubber plant with new growth at the top. It was so healthy it hasn't shown any signs of shock!
