Bring Home Marbled Elegance

We hand pick each Ficus Tineke and pack it carefully so it arrives in good shape anywhere in Ontario or Quebec.

Sun: Indirect

Ficus Rubber Plant Tineke thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but growth may slow down. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even exposure to light and prevent leaning or uneven growth.

Light: Medium - Bright

Place your Ficus Rubber Plant Tineke in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. If you notice the leaves turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign of too much sun exposure. Move the plant to a slightly shadier spot to prevent further damage.

Water: When mostly dry

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause the leaves to wilt and drop. Water the plant thoroughly, ensuring that excess water drains out of the pot. Empty the saucer to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.

Humidity: Any

Ficus Rubber Plant Tineke prefers moderate to high humidity levels. If the air in your home is dry, especially during winter months, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity. Misting the leaves occasionally can also help increase humidity around the plant.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Ficus Rubber Plant Tineke is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs, and other animals to prevent any potential harm. If you have pets, consider placing the plant in a location where they cannot access it or choose pet-safe alternatives for your indoor greenery.

Pro Tip

To encourage bushy growth and prevent leggy stems, regularly pinch or prune the growing tips of your Ficus Rubber Plant Tineke. This will stimulate new growth and help maintain a compact, full appearance.
