Ficus: Tineke


The variegated rubber plant, as it's sometimes known, often features striking reddish-pink tones on the outside of the green and cream foliage, and the sheath at the top of the stem is also a deep burgundy-red color.

Plant Care: Keep in bright, filtered light. Allow soil to become 50% dry between watering. Keep in a pot that allows for drainage.
