Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’ 10”—A Botanical Performer in Your Home Stage

Meet the Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’ 10”, a plant that’s as thoughtful as you are. Also known as the Variegated Rubber Plant, Tineke brings creamy whites, soft greens, and subtle blushes to her oversized foliage, like a watercolour painting in plant form. With her upright growth and artistic flair, she’s not just a houseplant—she’s an interior design statement.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Bright, indirect light is a must to keep her variegation crisp and colours vibrant. Lower light = less drama (and not in a good way).

• Water: Allow the top 2–3” of soil to dry before watering. She’s not into soggy roots—consistency over chaos.

• Humidity: Regular indoor humidity is fine, but she’ll appreciate a little mist in dry seasons to keep her leaves lush and happy.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: Firm, upright stems and vibrant, creamy marbling? She’s thriving and ready to turn heads.

• Needs TLC: Droopy leaves or browning edges? It’s usually a sign of overwatering, dry air, or a shady spot—move her into the light and reset the watering schedule.

Good News for Pet Parents:

Not pet-safe. Keep this queen out of paw’s reach—she’s better admired than tasted.

Extra Love for Detail Lovers:

• The 10” size refers to the diameter of the nursery pot, not the height or spread of the plant.

• Your Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’ will arrive in its nursery pot—any containers or ceramics shown are for styling inspiration only.

• At 3B’s Flowers, we photograph every plant in-house, but nature doesn’t do clones. Your Tineke may show unique patterns, blush tones, or leaf quirks—each one’s truly a masterpiece.

Symbolism with Style:

Tineke represents abundance, artistic growth, and gentle strength—making her an ideal gift for creatives, fresh starts, or anyone curating a space that feels intentional, calm, and a little bit luxe.
