Ficus Tineke Care
LIGHT: Your Ficus Tineke prefers bright, indirect light. Your plant may lose its beautiful cream variegation on new leaves if it’s not receiving enough light. If you are worried you don’t have enough light for your plant, consider using a grow light.
WATER: Water your plant when 50%-75% of the soil volume is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
HUMIDITY: Your Ficus Tineke will do great in average household humidity but will appreciate a boost in humidity from time to time. Regular misting, using a pebble tray, or placing a humidifier nearby are great ways to increase humidity for your Ficus.
TEMPERATURE: Your Ficus Tineke enjoys average room temperatures of 60-80°F. Avoid temperatures below 55°F, sudden temperature drops, or cold drafts.
FERTILIZER: For best results, feed your Ficus Tineke once a month from spring through summer with a general houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. No fertilizer is needed in the fall and winter months when growth naturally slows.
TOXICITY: This plant is mildly toxic to humans and pets. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation and possible vomiting. The sap can cause skin irritation.
ADDITIONAL CARE: Your Ficus will excrete a milky latex sap where cuts have occurred. This substance can irritate sensitive skin and stain clothing or other items. Take precautions to protect your hands and work area when pruning this plant, and wash with soap and water if contact does occur.
