🌿 Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’ – Care Guide

Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’, or the Variegated Rubber Plant, is a striking cultivar of the classic Rubber Plant. It features broad, creamy-white and green marbled leaves with a hint of pink on new growth. Easy to care for and stylish, ‘Tineke’ is perfect for adding a touch of light and color to bright indoor spaces.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Needs more light than non-variegated varieties to maintain vibrant colors

• Avoid direct sun, which can scorch leaves

• Too little light may cause loss of variegation and slow growth

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 5 cm (2 inches) of soil feels dry

• Spring–summer: water moderately

• Fall–winter: reduce frequency

• Always allow excess water to drain—avoid waterlogging

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Use well-draining soil (potting mix + perlite or coarse sand)

• Pot must have drainage holes

• Repot every 1–2 years, or when rootbound

• Slight root crowding can help control height

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal range: 18–27°C (65–80°F)

• Keep away from drafts, cold windows, and sudden temperature shifts

• Tolerates average indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting

🍃 Fertilizing

• Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer

• Skip feeding in autumn and winter

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune to control height or shape

• Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and enhance shine

• Avoid handling sap directly—latex may cause skin irritation

✅ Ideal For

• Bright corners, desks, or floor planters

• Anyone looking to brighten up a room with natural variegation

• Great choice for plant beginners or collectors

⚠️ Pet Safety

• Toxic to pets if ingested

  • May cause vomiting, drooling, or irritation

• Best placed out of reach of cats, dogs, or small children
