The Ficus White Tineke, or Rubber Plant, is a striking variety known for its glossy, oval leaves that display a unique blend of green and creamy-white variegation. This plant adds a touch of elegance and freshness to any indoor space, making it a favorite among plant enthusiasts.
Light Needs: The Rubber Plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning sun, but avoid prolonged exposure to intense afternoon sun, which can scorch its leaves.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Rubber Plant evenly moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Reduce watering in the winter months, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings.
Humidity Needs: The Rubber Plant prefers moderate to high humidity levels. Regular misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles can help maintain adequate moisture in the air around the plant.
