The Ficus Elastica Tineke is a bushy rubber plant with large, oval leaves. The foliage is thick and leathery, with a dark green, glossy upper surface. The plant grows upright and has a full, wide habit that gives any room an immediate sense of presence.
Its robust appearance makes it a practical choice for offices, hotel lobbies, waiting areas and meeting rooms. It requires little attention while continuing to look well-kept in high-traffic spaces. Bright, indirect light suits it best; it will tolerate some direct sun, but not for extended periods. It can also be used in a warm, sheltered outdoor setting.
In terms of care, allow the top layer of potting soil to dry out between waterings. Good drainage is important to prevent root rot, particularly during periods of slower growth. This page lists one size; if your project calls for multiple specimens or a range of heights, check the broader range. Each plant is packed in a sturdy, plant-specific box with a protective sleeve and is available for delivery within five working days.
Can this plant be placed outside? Yes, provided the environment is warm and sheltered. The Ficus Elastica Tineke is primarily an indoor plant, but it can also be used in a covered outdoor setting without prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
How much maintenance does this plant require in a busy project environment? Maintenance is minimal. The main task is checking whether the top layer of potting soil has dried out before watering. Good drainage in the pot prevents root rot and keeps the plant undemanding in daily use.
How realistic does it look up close? This is a living plant: the leaves are naturally large, glossy and leathery, giving it a distinct, recognisable appearance even at close range. There is no question of it looking artificial.
Can I order multiple specimens for a project? Yes, orders can be placed per single item or in larger quantities. For projects covering multiple spaces, all items are dispatched as one order, with each plant carefully packed individually.
How is the plant packed and what is the lead time? The plant is delivered in a sturdy box designed specifically for indoor plants, with a protective sleeve and secured during transit. Delivery takes five working days.
