Delivered at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e↕85 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in height and grown in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ27 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot, it offers a full, upright shape that sits comfortably in calm, modern interiors without demanding constant attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage is naturally glossy and firm to the touch, with a subtle pink-to-reddish midrib on newer growth. This contrast is what many people look for when searching for a “variegated rubber plant” that still feels restrained and easy to style. As the plant matures, it develops a sturdier, tree-like structure and can be kept compact with light pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus Tineke is often chosen for homes and offices because it copes well with typical indoor conditions. It prefers steady care rather than frequent change: consistent light, moderate watering, and a stable spot away from cold drafts.\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 to maintain strong variegation. It will tolerate medium light, but growth may slow and leaf contrast can soften. Avoid harsh, direct midday sun, which can scorch the pale areas.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering routine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water thoroughly when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Let excess water drain away and avoid leaving the pot standing in water to reduce the risk of root rot.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity preferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e Average indoor humidity is suitable.

In offices, it works well a short distance from large windows, where it adds greenery without taking up floor space like wider plants. Rotate the pot a quarter turn every few weeks for even growth and a balanced silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and keep the natural shine. Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser monthly during spring and summer, then reduce or pause in autumn and winter. If you want a bushier plant, pinch back the growing tip in the growing season. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus Tineke is toxic if ingested; keep out of reach of children and pets.\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 \u003cem\u003eFicus elastica\u003c\/em\u003e ‘Tineke’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. ↕85 cm, nursery pot Ø27 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in a practical nursery pot (decorative pot not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040805478743,"sku":"10043","price":63.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/2dc7d9d2-d492-4b6c-870c-58f5af3696c7_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782192","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-tineke-rubber-plant-green-cream","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
