Ficus elastica 'Tineke' is a variegated cultivar of the classic Rubber Tree, whose leaves are splashed with white, sage and emerald green, often with pink central veins. The new leaves sometimes emerge with bright pink that fades to cream as it hardens off. Native to South Asia, Ficus elastica is a member of the fig genus. Its milky sap was originally used to make latex, which is why this plant is often called the Rubber Tree. Its uniquely colored foliage make the 'Tineke' cultivar a favorite indoor tree for anyone who appreciates variegation.

The plant featured in the listing photos is in a 6" pot.

PLANT CARE

 Light: Provide bright, indirect light
