Know before you buy
No, this plant thrives best in bright, indirect light. Placing it in direct sun can scorch the variegated leaves, so a spot near a window with a sheer curtain or a bright corner is ideal.
No, the Rubber Tree Tineke is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best kept in a location that your pets cannot easily access.
This plant prefers moderate watering. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again, and ensure the pot drains well to avoid waterlogged roots.
Because the plant will naturally lean toward its light source, rotating it every few weeks ensures even growth on all sides. This prevents the plant from becoming lopsided or leaning too heavily in one direction.
Yes, it arrives pre-potted in the included White Patina terra cotta planter with a matching tray. It is ready to display as soon as you unbox it.
