Description
Ficus elastica Tineke
Here’s a new and pretty houseplant to brighten your coffee table and purify the air.
Ficus Elastica Tineke is a crazy mix of green, cream and pink. The rubbery new leaves pop out in attractive burgundy that fades as she matures. It’s a kaleidoscope of shades just perfect for fans of colour.
Pop one on your desk, brighten the bookcase and bring some life into the bedroom. Tineke suits every room in the house and likes bright light, but be careful not to place those party leaves in direct sunlight or she’ll burn.
Tineke is easy to care for. Plant her up in free-draining soil and only water when the soil is dry down to a few centimetres. Wipe the leaves down if they get dusty and that’s it. Yes, really! If you need any more help read our blog.
If you notice colours have faded she needs a bit more light. Put her closer to a window and she’ll be back to her full glory in no time.

Garden Coach: Week 1
Keeping your plants alive the first 30 days is critical. Don't worry, I’ll guide you through
Let me kick off with watering.
Succulents don’t like a lot of water and long periods of drought won’t hurt yours one bit, they’re the best type of plant for forgetful folk, or those that are away from home a fair bit, so don’t feel bad if you haven’t given him a drink yet. One of the most common mistakes people make is watering them too much! The best potting mix for succulents is a well draining one. Using a good potting mix of porous soil for succulents is super important to prevent overwatering. Water your succulent when the soil is dry. Soak it thoroughly rather than giving it regular sips and always empty excess water from the saucer as it will rot the roots. If you’re struggling try one of our self-watering pots they make a plant killer look like a pro! In winter succulents need even less water. You can touch the soil each week and if it’s even a bit damp then leave it alone and try again the following week. Succulents need little moisture and although it seems cruel, a sure-fire way to kill your beauty is by watering it frequently. This will turn it to mush.
If in doubt, leave it without.
Don't leaf just yet!
