Ficus Tineke 4"
With its striking variegated leaves showcasing shades of green and invory, this ficus adds a touch of sophistication and natural elegance to any indoor space. Find care instructions below:
Light: Too much direct light can scorch the foliage, but overly low-light conditions will see the pink hues on the leaves fade, there will be less new leaf growth, and your plant could become unattractively leggy. Sitting your plant in an east-facing window usually works well, or setting it back from a south- or west-facing window. Your ficus tineke might appreciate a few hours of soft morning sunlight, but avoid direct harsh afternoon rays.
Water: These plants appreciate it if you let the top couple of inches of potting mix dry out to the touch in between waterings. So watering once every one to two weeks during the growing season is usually enough, depending on the light and humidity in your home.
Repot: It's easy to tell when your ficus tineke needs repotting because you'll see the roots starting to grow out of the drainage holes. These plants are relatively fast growers, so repotting once every year or two is normal. Pick a pot that's only a few inches larger in diameter than the original one—opting for something too big can cause problems with excessive moisture retention that leads to soggy roots, and these plants like being slightly potbound.
