Ficus Elastica Tineke - Ø27cm - ↕100cm

Appearance of the plant

Sturdy, leathery leaves with a graceful variegated pattern in green, cream and soft pink

Color variation gives a fresh, modern look to any interior

Typically grows to 80–100 cm tall indoors, but can grow taller in ideal conditions

Location

Likes a lot of indirect light to keep the leaf colors beautiful.

Can also tolerate partial shade, but will then grow more slowly and have less bright colours.

Avoid prolonged direct, bright sunlight to prevent leaf burn

Water requirement

Water moderately: allow the top layer of potting soil to dry slightly before the next watering.

During the growing season (spring and summer) give a little more water, in winter less.

Can handle skipping fairly well, but not wet feet

Winter hardiness

Not winter hardy, only suitable as a houseplant

Minimum temperature: approx. 15°C

Protect against draughts and cold air currents

Fun fact: In folklore and mythology, ficus plants are often seen as symbols of luck, wealth, and prosperity.
