Ficus tineke
A natural graphic masterpiece.
The rubber plant can thrive indoors given a position with good light. The stunning fleshy leaves are a real feature and this is one of the few plants that can easily reach grand heights if you are looking to fill a space. Cutting such beautiful plants may seem like madness but over time will result in branching and a bushy, more tree like appearance.

Plant care
This plant needs the following:
Light
Bright indirect light will keep the Ficus tineke colours looking fresh.
Water
Water when the top 5-10cm of soil are dry to the touch. Make sure all excess water is drained away to avoid root rot.
Placement
We advise keeping near a window with a broad view of the sky. If the sun is harsh in the afternoon diffuse with a sheer curtain.

Top tip
To encourage a bushy, rather than tall and straggly plant, prune this Ficus back at the trunk for multiple branching.
