Ficus Elastica ‘Tineke’. Variegated Rubber Plant. .

The Ficus Elastica ‘Tineke’, more commonly known as the Rubber Plant is native to India and Indonesia but in the UK is grown as a very stylish and modern looking houseplant. A relatively new variation ‘Tineke’ has large, broad leaves in striking tones of cream and green. Newly emerging leaves have a blush of burgundy colour which fades as they mature.

One of the most effective plants for filtering and purifying air, this very ‘trendy’ plant is a great for providing a focal point in either office or home. Easy to care for, liking bright indirect light but coping relatively well with lower light conditions and even withstanding a certain amount of neglect. May be placed outside during summer. Please be aware the sap can be an irritant.
