Ficus elastica | 'Shivereana Moonshine'

A spectacular variety of rubber plant (Ficus elastica) known for its unique variegated foliage: shades of cream, light green, and sometimes pinkish hues that evoke moonlight on the leaves. Each leaf is different, making it a truly decorative and sought-after piece for any interior. ✨

Care:

• Light: Bright, indirect light. The more pronounced the variegation, the more light the plant needs to maintain its colors—however, avoid direct sun, which can burn the leaves.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings (about the top 2 inches). Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
• Humidity: Adapts well to normal indoor humidity but appreciates a bit more humidity if possible.
• Temperature: Between 18°C and 27°C (64°F and 81°F). Avoid cold drafts and sudden fluctuations.
• Soil: Well-drained soil, rich in organic matter.
• Fertilization: Balanced fertilizer in spring and summer, about once a month.
• Repotting: Every 1-2 years, into a slightly larger pot.
• Leaf Care: Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their shine.
• Toxicity: The sap can be irritating to the skin and toxic if ingested.
