Ficus Elastica "Tineke" 5” pot

The Rubber Fig is well-recognized as a low-maintenance ornamental plant. The "Tineke" still has that same easy-to-care-for qualifier but with gorgeous green, white, and occasional pink variegation. You must be cautious that this version is less shade tolerant than the non-variegated form. Yes, the "Tieneke" can survive in lower light, but you will start to notice the white portions disappearing, a process known as "reversion.

CARE: 

• Does best with consistent bright indirect light and a few hours of direct morning or late afternoon sun  
• Rotate often to ensure even variegation and growth if foliage 
• Allow the first 1/3-1/2 of the soil is dry-This plant hates wet feet!
• Leaves tend to collect dust quickly. Gently wipe the leaves once/a week for optimal photosynthesis.
