This variegated rubber plant is known as Ficus Elastica Tineke. This version of the Rubber Plants has the coolest leaves. They are usually white with different shades of green, but can also be pink! A sure stand-out amongst your average greens.
CARE
Caring for the variegated rubber plant can be easy if all essentials are met. The rubber plant needs to be kept moist, but must not sit in water. Water only when the top layer of soil becomes slightly dry, roughly once a week in summer and bi-weekly in winter.
Most importantly, DO NOT overwater and try not to move it around too much once you have found the perfect spot for it. Place in a nice sunny spot but avoid long periods of direct sunlight to keep leaves from burning.
This plant will also benefit from regular misting to keep the air around it moist, especially in the summer or if the room is heated in the winter. Wipe the leaves down to remove any dust to show off its shiny leaves.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
We guarantee that our customers receive plants in good and healthy condition. Live plants will most likely become droopy or fatigued during shipping. We recommend unpackaging your plant as soon as possible and placing it in proper light conditions. Water your plant if the soil is dry to the touch and watch your plant perk up over the coming hours and days. Do Not re-pot your new plant for at least 5-7 days. This will help avoid any additional stress.
If for any reason you are not satisfied with the condition that your plant arrives in, please let us know within 5 days of receiving it so we can take the steps to correct this. You and your plants happiness are very important to us!
