For an unusual yet easy-to-find ficus variety, consider Ficus elastica 'Tineke' (sometimes sold under the trademarked name 'Chroma'). Often features striking reddish-pink tones on the outside of the green and cream foliage, and the sheath at the top of the stem is also a deep burgundy-red color. Not pet friendly.

  • What To Due Upon Arrival

    When your new plant arrives, we have a few recommendations: first, immediately open the box, remove the plant from the box, remove the protective sleeve, and water the well. Allow your new friend to acclimate to its new environment for a few weeks before you repot it.

  • Planting and Care

    With few exceptions, most people want to put their new plant in a beautiful new pot. Here are a few tips for the majority of plants ( unless otherwise noted). 

    * When your plant arrives, wait a few weeks to allow it to acclimate. This will mitigate the shock.  

    * When it is time to replant, use a good quality soil. One that is low in peat and high in perlite is suggested. I recommend Purple Cow Potting Soil. 

    *When removing from the grow pot, be sure to open the roots  up so they can expand in there new pot. 

    * Be sure to not plant too deep. Leave 1/4" of the top of soil the plant is growing in above the new soil line. This will prevent soil accumulating around the stems and suffocation. 

    * Water deeply. Remember that this watering is not just for drinking , but to eliminate air pockets.  

    * Use a water soiable fertilizer every 2 weeks ( unless stated otherwise).
