The variegation is naturally irregular, which gives the foliage a composed but distinctive pattern. Indoors, the Ficus elastica is grown for its leaves rather than flowers, making it a reliable choice for year-round greenery in living rooms, home offices and bedrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is ideal.

Its upright form works well on the floor beside a sofa, in a reading corner, or on a low stool or plant stand. In an office, it provides structure without taking over the room; in a hallway, choose a spot that still receives natural light.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRotate the pot every few weeks for even growth and a balanced silhouette. Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and keep the natural sheen—this also helps the plant photosynthesise efficiently. Use a pot with drainage (or keep it in the nursery pot inside a cachepot) and never leave the roots standing in water. If you want a fuller plant, pinching the growing tip in spring can encourage branching.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plant (houseplant)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies \/ variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate size at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø17 cm pot, ↕60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in a grower’s nursery pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040798073175,"sku":"28972","price":59.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/179d8dd5-7318-4c94-9648-6f4e20c30d68_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782169","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-elastica-tineke-o17cm-%e2%86%9560cm","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
