Monstera Deliciosa
BeginnerA rubber plant with beautiful cream-green variegation. Pink new growth adds accent.
Ficus elastica 'Tineke' is a variegated cultivar of the rubber plant, distinguished by its large, leathery leaves displaying a subtle blend of cream, pale green, and white variegation. New leaves emerge from vivid pink to coral sheaths, unfurling to reveal the signature creamy-green patterning. It grows to 60–200 cm indoors. Bright indirect light is essential to maintain the variegation; in lower light, the leaves revert toward solid green. Water thoroughly after the soil dries, reducing frequency in winter. Wiping leaves with a damp cloth enhances their natural sheen. The handle the milky sap with care, as it can irritate skin. 'Tineke' retains all the hardiness of the standard rubber plant while adding the decorative quality of soft, luminous variegation — a popular choice for brightening contemporary interiors.
