Care Guide

Light:
Ficus Tineke thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, the variegation may fade if light is insufficient. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves.

Humidity:
This plant prefers moderate humidity, but it can adapt to typical household humidity levels. In drier conditions, occasional misting will help prevent leaf dryness and improve overall plant health.

Temperature:
Keep Ficus Tineke in a warm environment with temperatures between 18-24°C. Avoid cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, or placement near air conditioning units, as these can cause stress to the plant.

Watering:
Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Ficus Tineke prefers well-draining soil and does not like to sit in water. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.

Troubleshooting

  1. Drooping Leaves:
    This can result from inconsistent watering—either too much or too little. Ensure you are allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings and not keeping the plant overly wet or dry.
  2. Yellowing Leaves:
    Overwatering is the most common cause of yellowing leaves. Check the soil moisture levels and reduce the frequency of watering if the soil is staying too damp.
  3. Leaf Drop:
    This may occur due to stress from changes in temperature, light, or watering. Ensure the plant is in a stable environment with consistent light and a regular watering routine.
  4. Brown Leaf Edges:
    Low humidity or underwatering can cause brown tips or edges on the leaves. Increase humidity by misting the plant and check your watering schedule to avoid dehydration.
  5. Faded Variegation:
    If the variegated colours begin to fade, it may be a sign of insufficient light. Move the plant to a brighter spot with indirect sunlight to restore its vibrant colours.

By providing the right balance of light, water, and humidity, your Ficus Elastica Tineke will thrive and remain a stunning addition to your indoor plant collection!

 

How should I water my Ficus Elastica Tineke to prevent root rot?
Water the plant only when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure thorough watering so that water runs through the drainage holes, but allow the excess water to drain completely to avoid the plant sitting in water.
Can the Ficus Elastica Tineke thrive in low-light indoor environments?
While it can adapt to lower light, the variegation of the leaves may fade. It’s best suited to bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant colours and health.
Is the Ficus Elastica Tineke suitable for beginners?
Yes, this plant is perfect for both novices and experienced plant owners due to its low-maintenance nature and resilience, making it a great choice for anyone looking to enhance their indoor space with greenery.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Ficus Elastica Tineke thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but ensure it’s not too dim, or the beautiful variegation may start to fade. Direct sunlight, however, should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Water your Ficus Tineke when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry to the touch. Ensure the soil is well-draining to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Make sure not to overwater by checking the soil before watering.
