🪴 Ficus Tineke Care Guide

Light:
Ficus Tineke thrives in bright, indirect light. The more light it receives, the more vibrant the variegation in its leaves. However, it can tolerate lower light, but the variegated colors might fade, and the growth rate may slow down. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can burn the delicate leaves.

Watering:
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Like other Ficus plants, Ficus Tineke is sensitive to overwatering. Be sure the pot has proper drainage to avoid waterlogging. In winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows.

Humidity:
Ficus Tineke prefers moderate to high humidity, making it a perfect choice for bathrooms or kitchens with naturally higher humidity. If the air is too dry, mist the plant occasionally or place it on a humidity tray to maintain ideal conditions.

Temperature:
Ideal temperatures for Ficus Tineke range from 60–75°F (15–24°C). It’s important to keep this plant away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, as it’s sensitive to both extremes.

Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix. A standard potting mix combined with perlite or sand for extra drainage works well. The plant doesn’t like to sit in waterlogged soil, so make sure to choose a pot with proper drainage.

Feeding:
Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Cut back on fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

⚠️ Pet Safety

Ficus Tineke is toxic to pets (cats, dogs, and other animals) if ingested. The sap can cause irritation to the mouth, throat, and stomach. Keep this plant out of reach of pets and small children to ensure their safety.
