Mother Nature's playful ways come to the fore in the beautiful Green and Cream mottling of the Tineke variety of the Rubber Tree. Its unique patterning is accentuated by a glossy overcoat which magnificently completes each individual oval-shaped leaf.
Let Tineke's foliage do all the talking by matching it with a pot that is a little more understated such as a classic Terracotta Pot as the brown/red tones of the pot really set off the colour variations in the leaves. They are also a winner when paired with a Palm Leaf Basket.
Place in a bright indirect light spot with loads of warmth, to keep it looking its best. It'll handle average room humidity but be sure to keep this stunner out of a breeze and water once the soil has become completely dry.
Rubber Trees are trend worldwide and for good reason. Not only are they beautiful to behold, but their care-easy nature also makes them accessible to beginners and more seasoned indoor plant folks alike.
