Product Description
The Ficus Elastica Tineke, also known as the Indian Rubber Tree, used to be an important source of rubber. This plant is part of the Ficus family, which has more than 1,000 different species. Although they are related, you don't always immediately see that they belong to the same family. Most Ficus species originate from tropical Asia.
Care & tips Ficus Tineke shrub - 170cm
Ficus Tineke is an easy houseplant, but it is sensitive to changes in its environment. If the plant grows to one side, move it gradually by turning it a little daily so that it does not startle all at once. Major changes can cause the plant to lose leaves. A weekly spray is ideal for Ficus; it keeps the leaves dust-free and helps prevent pests.
Water requirements Ficus Tineke shrub - 170cm
Always try to keep Ficus' soil slightly moist. This is best measured with a moisture meter or water gauge.
Light requirement Ficus Tineke shrub - 170cm
Ficus Tineke loves daylight and prefers a bright spot close to a window. This houseplant really needs daylight to develop. If the Tineke stands in a too dark place, it will not grow new leaves. Be careful during the summer months, as direct sunlight can become too intense. For this period, move the plant to a spot with less direct sunlight per day.
Is the Ficus Tineke shrub - 170cm poisonous?
The leaves of Ficus Tineke are toxic to pets and children. Ingestion of the plant is strongly discouraged. The sap contained in the plant can cause skin irritation. So be careful with this plant in combination with small children and pets.
