Product Description

Ficus elastica is the classic Rubber Tree, Rubber Plant or India Rubber Plant. Native to India and Malaysia, elastica is among the oldest plants used as houseplants worldwide. As a houseplant, Ficus is very popular. Able to adapt to and endure lower light conditions and generally poor treatment, The Rubber Tree is a winner indoors. Provide as much light as possible, keep away from cold and drafts in winter, keep soil lightly to moderately moist with good drainage. Most any soil will be fine and largely sandy soils mixed with some organics are ideal. Light fertilization is best. Ficus elastica 'Tineke', "VARIEGATED RUBBER TREE" - Nice selection of this tropical, evergreen tree; large, shiny leaves attractively marbled cream, green & gray-green; indoor or summer patio site, outdoors in mildest Inland areas. You will receive a starter plant growing in a 2.5" pot, similar to the second and third photos. The variegation and waxiness/thickness of the leaves develop as the plant matures.

    Tineke rubber tree plant

    Posted by Meriam H. on Sep 21st 2020

    This tiny guy wasn’t what I expected at all but it was very nicely packaged. My shipment was delayed so it arrived in pretty bad shape but it seems to be doing ok. I hope that I wasn’t sent the wrong plant and that in time it looks like the Tineke I’ve always wanted.

    First Plant by Mail order

    Posted by Esh Nic on Jun 25th 2020

    I was so scared to purchase plants by mail. I saw a lot of great reviews on this website so I decided to go for it. I found this rubber plant that I fell in love with. I ordered 2 of them. I thought the price was really great. I didn’t know what to expect. They arrived in only 3 days. I didn’t request rush shipping or anything. I’m blown away by how great this experience has been. I will definitely purchase more from this company in the future. Oh and the plants were packaged very well. Bubble wrap galore. Thank you so much. I look forward to watching these plants thrive!
