With its bold variegation and minimal care requirements, Ficus 'Tineke' makes a perfect statement plant for homes, offices, or summer patios.

Ficus Basic Care: Easy/Medium

• Water: Let the soil almost completely dry out between waterings. These plants appreciate a consistent watering schedule, as they can be quite dramatic when neglected.
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light.
• Soil/Drainage: Best in a loose, well-draining tropical mix.
• Temperature/Humidity: Prefers warm conditions and should be kept away from drafty areas. While higher humidity is ideal, it can adapt to normal household humidity levels.
