-
![]()
The 'Tineke' is a vibrant, evergreen plant known for its striking green, yellow/cream, and white variegation. Its thick, glossy, oval-shaped leaves often feature a delicate pink or reddish hue along the edges or new growth points, making it a spectacular tricolor specimen. It is a slightly hardier variety compared to some other variegated Ficus plants.![]()
The parent species, Ficus elastica, is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of India and Malaysia.![]()
It develops into an impressive, upright, tree-like form indoors, making it an excellent statement plant for living areas or offices.![]()
Like other Ficus, it produces small, insignificant flowers enclosed within a fig-like structure, but these are rarely produced on indoor specimens and are not considered ornamental.

Bright, Indirect Light is Crucial. To maintain the vibrant variegation (especially the white and cream parts), place it in a very bright spot. This plant requires more light than the dark 'Burgundy' variety. Avoid direct, intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves, and avoid low light, which will dull the colors.![]()
Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly before watering. Overwatering is the biggest killer; reduce frequency significantly during winter dormancy.![]()
Use a rich, well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix. A standard houseplant mix amended with perlite or orchid bark for better aeration works well.![]()
Prefers stable, warm temperatures between 60°F and 75°F (16°C–24°C). It is sensitive to cold and should be protected from temperatures below 55°F (13°C) and cold drafts.![]()
This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.
