Care Info
SUN |
The Ficus Tineke is adaptable and will do best in medium to bright, indirect light. We recommend placing it in a room with east or south-facing windows that receive filtered light via curtains or blinds. Light that is too low or too direct will cause discoloration. |
WATER |
Water generously when the top 50-75% of soil has dried, allowing all excess water to drain out. Use of non-tap water is recommended. Reduce frequency during Fall and Winter. |

AESTHETIC |

The Tineke is a variation of the Ficus with stunning tri-colored marbling of cream, sage, and avocado-green. Indoors, it can grow over 6 feet tall and does well outdoors under the right conditions. |

OUR RECS |
We recommend ceramic planter with a drainage hole to provide ideal moisture balance and airflow for the Ficus. When repotting, use a planter of the same size or no more than 2 inches larger. Ideal soil is a well-draining mix with aerating and moisture-retaining amendments such as bark, sand, and/or perlite. |
Nature is unique - each plant may vary slightly from the plant shown here. Ceramic planters are sold separately.
