The Ficus Elastica 'tineke', also known as a variegated Rubber tree, is native to tropical regions of India and Malaysia.
Its care is similar to that of the traditional Rubber Tree, however its unique tri-colored variegation requires brighter light conditions than the Burgundy variety to keep the colors strong and defined. Place your plant in a location where it can receive bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun will scorch the leaves, but this plant will not fare well in low light spaces. Placement a few feet removed from southern or western exposure is ideal, or directly in an eastern facing window works too!
Rubber plants' water needs vary according to season. In the growing season (summer), the plant should be kept moist. This includes wiping the leaves with a damp cloth or even misting them. During the dormant season, your plant may only need water once or twice a month.
Light: Bright, indirect light.
Water: Keep moist in summer (not soggy), mist occasionally; water once or twice a month in winter.
Pets: TOXIC TO PETS!
