Tineke فيكس تينيكي

Terracotta pot not included

Ficus elastica 'Tineke' boasts large, striking oval leaves, much like her sister Robusta. What sets Tineke apart are her white variegated leaves, reminiscent of a camouflage army pattern.

Also known as the “rubber tree,” the Ficus elastica earned this nickname from its sap, which was once used to make rubber. Today, this popular plant steals the spotlight in living rooms while also purifying the air. NASA even ranked her among the top 10 most air-purifying houseplants in the world!

Despite her fame, Tineke is low maintenance and modest in size. She prefers a bright spot with indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight, and doesn’t demand much space.

Care:

Ficus Tineke doesn’t need much water give her small amounts occasionally, letting the soil dry out between waterings. Place her in a bright location with indirect light, but avoid direct sun. Rotate her occasionally to encourage even growth. Keep her leaves dust-free by wiping with a soft damp cloth or feather duster. During spring and summer, treat her to some extra organic plant food she’ll thrive on it!
