About Ficus Elastica 'Tineke' - Tineke Rubber Tree
Ficus elastica 'Tineke Rubber Plant' is a newer variety of one of the more commonly kept varieties, Ficus elastica 'Burgundy Rubber Plant'. In its natural habitat, this tree can grow to about 100 feet tall, however, indoors it is commonly kept at a much more manageable height of around 1-8 feet tall. Since this plant is slow growing, it can be kept as a long term house tree. It will grow faster and larger in bigger pots, and smaller and slower in smaller pots. Its thick, rubbery leaves with a white variegated pattern and red/pink undertones can get 8-12" long and 4" wide. It should be placed in bright lighting, which will enhance the reddish color tones. It is very easy to care for and will do fine if it is only watered when the soil becomes dry. This plant is considered to be top of the list for air purifying! ALL PLANTS ARE SHIPPED IN POTS WITH SOIL OR OTHER MEDIA UNLESS IT IS DEEMED NECESSARY TO SHIP BARE ROOT. Pictured in a 2.5" pot.
