Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to keep its pink, cream, and green colors vibrant. If the light is too low, the leaves may lose their variegation and turn a solid, darker green.
Watering should be based on soil moisture rather than a strict schedule. Check the soil once a week, and give the plant a thorough drink only when the top layer feels dry to the touch.
It is best to wait at least one week before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to the light and temperature conditions of your home, reducing transplant stress.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
The Ficus Tineke thrives in temperatures between 65-85°F. Avoid placing it near drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or heaters, as extreme temperature fluctuations can cause leaf drop.
