Ficus elastica 'Tineke'

Ficus elastica 'Tineke' is a variegated rubber plant with broad glossy leaves patterned in dark green, cream and pale green, often with reddish-brown colouring on the midrib, petiole and fresh growth. The variegation is irregular, with every leaf developing a slightly different balance of green centre, pale margin and soft blush.

It grows as an upright evergreen indoor tree or shrub, with new leaves forming from the shoot tips inside protective sheaths. As the stems mature, they thicken and gain height, while pruning can encourage extra branching and a fuller outline.

Cream and green leaves with red-toned details

  • Leaf pattern: Broad leaves show irregular green and cream variegation across the upper surface.
  • Leaf size: Mature leaves can become large on established plants with good light and root space.
  • Colour detail: Reddish-brown tones can appear on midribs, petioles and new growth.
  • Growth habit: Upright woody stems can be kept narrow or pruned to encourage branching.
  • Leaf contrast: Pale margins brighten the broad green leaf surface and highlight the red-toned midrib.

How Ficus elastica 'Tineke' grows

Ficus elastica is a wet-tropical Asian fig tree in Moraceae. In nature it grows as a tree, while indoor plants remain limited by pot size, light, pruning and household conditions. Ficus elastica 'Tineke' has thick rubber plant leaves and woody stems. Bright indirect light reduces scorch risk on pale sections and allows new leaves to expand firmly.

The plant’s new leaves open from coloured sheaths and expand into firm, leathery blades. Over time, the central stem becomes stronger and the upper leaves become heavier; occasional pot rotation exposes new growth to light from several sides.

Light, watering and leaf care for Ficus elastica 'Tineke'

  • Light: Give bright indirect light. Pale leaf sections can scorch in strong direct sun, especially through glass.
  • Watering: Let the top part of the mix dry before watering, then drain fully to protect the roots from standing water.
  • Substrate: Use a loose, well-draining houseplant mix with bark, perlite, pumice or similar aerating material.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, with good growth around normal indoor temperatures above 18 °C.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity reduces sticking as new leaves unfurl and limits dry-edge stress on pale margins.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer while new leaves are forming. Reduce feeding in low-light months.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to control height or encourage side shoots, and handle the latex sap carefully.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the large leaves with a soft damp cloth to remove dust from the cream and green surface.

Problem signs on Ficus elastica 'Tineke'

  • Brown cream sections: Check for direct sun, hot glass, dry air or inconsistent watering.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Inspect root moisture and drainage, especially if the pot feels heavy for several days.
  • Leaf drop: Review recent moves, cold draughts and sudden changes in watering intervals.
  • Leaning growth: Rotate the pot gradually and move it closer to bright filtered light if the stems pull strongly in one direction.
  • Pests: Check undersides, petioles and midribs for scale, mites or mealybugs, then isolate and treat early.

Safety with Ficus elastica 'Tineke'

Ficus elastica 'Tineke' produces milky latex from damaged leaves and stems. The sap can irritate skin and eyes, and ingestion may irritate pets or children. Keep it out of reach, wear gloves when pruning and clean away any sap from tools, shelves or skin.

Botanical background and name meaning

Ficus elastica Roxb. ex Hornem. is the accepted species name. Ficus comes from the Latin name for fig, while elastica refers to the latex historically associated with rubber.

Broad cream-and-green leaves, reddish-brown midribs and upright woody stems shape the variegated rubber plant canopy.

Hides the cables
Size: 36", Size: 36"
Hides the cables. A little expensive but works well. When drilling the holes, be sure to be mindful of the overhang of the net compared to the brackets and the paper template.

Perfect for cable management
Size: 36", Size: 36"
I installed this on my uplift desk and didn’t have to drill any holes. I just used velcro ties on the support beams and it is holding steady. I have about 8 pounds in the mesh holder and the wire management for it is great. Easy to install and functions perfectly

Durable, easy to install, and gets the job done!
Size: 36", Size: 36"
I picked this up since upgrading my desk setup, and was wanting a cleaner, more managed approach to the cables mounted under my desk. Starting with quality, the mesh net is quite strong and can handle putting all kinds of cables and power strips to you liking without worrying about any thing tearing-- it won't even come close, so don't worry. The kit has everything you need to get started: The mesh net, metal pipes to run along the sides, and two mounting brackets to hook those metal pipes onto. On top of that, the product page has a video demo, which is going to do a much better job showing/explaining than I will, so I'd take a look at that if you just picked this up for installation. The net really gets the job done, and I'm happy to give it a 5-star rating for its value, size, functionality, and doing everything it advertised on the page. However, I will add a caveat for those looking for exceptionally clean/low-profile cable management for their desk. The mounting kit was nice to come with a template for you to drill the hooks onto as intended by the manufacturer. However, at this particular width, the net will naturally hang down about 2-3 inches. When looking at a desk from the front, you will still be able to see the net hanging, unless you have a particularly deep desk, or something occluding it. That's not by any means a dealbreaker, but I'd recommend one of two things: - VIVO should consider adding a second mounting template that's wider and pulls the net closer to the table - You can use any drillable hook you might have lying around to add a wider mounting point for the net to be more flush with the desk. Either way, I'm still really happy with the product, and the suggestions above might let you get even more out of it if you're OCD about your cables like I am. All in all, it's a great looking solution for your desk!

Does what it says... And surely better than hanging cords to catch your feet on!
Size: 36"
Does what it says... And surely better than hanging cords to catch your feet on! I've caught my feet on the cables hanging behind my desk way too many times. Things get unplugged, cables get strained, & in some cases, connections are damaged. This product prevents all of that. Not that this really "Organizes" the cables, as much as keeps them managed in a way that doesn't involve hanging onto the floor or behind the desk for your feet to catch. No regrets so far, beyond not ordering it sooner. I definitely recommend & would purchase again.
