Care Tips:
Ficus Tineke Light Requirements And Temperature
Ficus elastica Tineke does best indoors with bright, indirect light. In lower light conditions, new leaves produce less creamy variegation. Plants also are less likely to produce new growth.
If the leaves are losing their variegation, move your Tineke plant to a location with a brighter light source.
Indoors maintain average room temperatures above 55° degrees Fahrenheit with medium humidity levels. Consider adding a humidifier to increase humidity.
Remember, too much light can scorch the foliage of Tineke Rubber plants. In contrast, too little light may mean duller colors and less variation.
Ficus Tineke can be finicky to temperature. It does not tolerate inconsistent temperatures. Sudden temperature drops, cold drafts, and dry conditions will affect your plant.
On the flip side, if your leaves are crispy and have brown spots, your plant may be too dry or get too much sun exposure.
Ficus Tineke Watering And Feeding
The Ficus tineke is a relatively low-maintenance house plant. Do not overwater rubber plants.
If the roots sit in water, they can suffer from root rot, and fungus gnats can become an issue. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering it again.
The indoor Ficus will still seek watering according to the natural growing season. Water your plant more during the summer months and scale back during the winter months.
Feed your new Ficus plant monthly during warmer months. The best fertilizer to use is a half-strength balanced liquid fertilizer.
Soil And Transplanting
The tineke variegated rubber tree plant thrives in light, well-draining, moist soil. It can tolerate heavy clay, sandy, or loamy soils. Always use a pot with drainage holes.
When transplanting, pick a pot that’s only a few inches larger in diameter than the original one. Selecting a pot too big can cause common problems with excessive moisture retention. Remember, excessive moisture can lead to soggy roots. Moreover, these plants like being slightly potbound.
It does well in either acidic or alkaline soil. Regardless of the Ficus variety, these plants will grow indoors. Do not overpot. Your Tineke Rubber plant should be fine in the pot you purchased it for a year.
