The Ficus Tineke is a popular houseplant known for its striking leaves. It is a variety of the Ficus elastica, also known as the rubber plant, and owes its name to the two-colored leaves. The leaves of the Ficus Tineke are large, shiny and oval-shaped. They have a beautiful mix of green and cream tones, with the green color predominating and the cream-colored veins and edges running through the leaves. This color combination gives the plant a playful and lively appearance. The Ficus Tineke is a relatively easy-to-care plant and can thrive in both the home and the office. It tolerates a variety of lighting conditions, but generally does best in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light can lead to slower growth and less color contrast in the leaves. As for water needs, it is important to keep the soil slightly moist. However, it is also important to avoid placing the plant in soil that is too wet, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings before watering again. In terms of temperature, the Ficus Tineke thrives at moderate room temperatures between 18°C ​​and 24°C. It can tolerate lower temperatures, but temperatures below 10°C should be avoided. T he Ficus Tineke is generally undemanding when it comes to nutrition. A general houseplant fertilizer can be used during the growing season (spring and summer) according to package instructions. Fertilizers should be used sparingly in the winter months or stopped altogether as the plant is usually dormant during that period. Please note that the Ficus Tineke is poisonous to pets and humans when ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.
