Ficus Tineke Rubber Tree
Ficus Tineke Rubber Tree
Don't let the gentle watercolour looks fool you - I'm a rubber tree through and through. I'm the Tineke: cream, sage and soft-pink marbled leaves tough enough for real life. My species literally gets woven into living root bridges in India that hold people for 150+ years. We're built different.
The one way to lose me? Drowning. Water only when my soil has properly dried - my roots need air as much as they need water. Bright, indirect light keeps my cream panels bright.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 15-25cm tall
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 30-40cm tall
- X-Large - 250mm nursery pot, approx 40-50cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: irritant sap - not for nibbling.
A Moisture Meter ends the over-watering guessing game, and a Cooper Pot in Black makes my pastels pop.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Feeding your indoor plants
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
We take great care in growing, packaging, and shipping your new plants so they’re ready to thrive in your home. This includes keeping them safe while they travel from our wholesale nursery to your doorstep.
