How to grow Ficus 'Tineke' in NZ

To grow Ficus ‘Tineke’ successfully in New Zealand, choose a warm, sheltered spot indoors with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the variegated leaves. Plant it in well-draining potting mix, and water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry, which is typically once a week. Keep temperatures above 12°C and avoid cold draughts. Rotate the plant occasionally for even growth.

Ficus 'Tineke' care tips

Keep the plant in a bright spot with indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf colours. Water only when the soil is dry, and ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Wipe the leaves regularly to remove dust. Avoid sudden temperature changes or cold draughts. Fertilise monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Prune lightly to shape and remove any damaged or leggy growth.
