Plant Care Essentials 🌿

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Adequate lighting helps maintain its beautiful variegation. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight.

• Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can lead to root rot.

• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well to typical indoor environments.

• Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix that provides good airflow around the roots.

• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer during spring and summer to encourage healthy growth.

• Maintenance: Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and maximize light absorption. Rotate periodically to encourage balanced growth.

• Toxicity: The Ficus Tineke contains a milky sap that can irritate skin and is toxic to pets if ingested.
