Variegated Rubber Plant
The Ficus Tineke, also known as the Variegated Rubber Plant, is a beautiful and easy-care houseplant with large, glossy leaves streaked in green, cream, and soft pink. Native to Southeast Asia, it can grow up to 3–6 feet tall and 2–4 feet wide, making it a stunning focal point indoors. Beyond its looks, it naturally purifies the air by removing toxins like formaldehyde. It thrives in bright, indirect light for a few hours daily and prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Water when the topsoil is dry, but avoid overwatering and cold drafts. Occasional pruning helps shape the plant and encourage fuller growth, making it perfect for living rooms, offices, or sunrooms.
