35 - 50cm Ficus Shivereana Moonshine 17cm Pot House Plant

The Ficus Shivereana ‘Moonshine’ is a rare and captivating houseplant. A unique cultivar of Ficus elastica (rubber plant), this variety stands out with its stunning pale green leaves, delicately marbled with cream, chartreuse, and soft speckles of darker green. It has the same upright, sturdy growth habit as other rubber plants but with a much softer, more refined colour palette that instantly elevates the look of any room.

With its rare, ethereal foliage and easy going nature, the Ficus Shivereana ‘Moonshine’ is a must-have for collectors and interior plant stylists alike bringing elegance and calm to any space.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its unique variegation. It can handle some gentle morning sun, but avoid strong direct afternoon rays, which may fade or scorch the leaves.

• Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, letting excess drain out—never let it sit in water.

• Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity but adapts well to typical indoor levels. 

• Temperature: Ideal range 18–27°C. Keep away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix—something loose and airy with peat, perlite, and bark or coco coir. Good drainage is essential.

• Feeding: Fertilize once a month during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce or pause feeding during winter.

• Pruning: Prune sparingly to shape and control height. Remove any damaged or older leaves to keep the plant looking fresh.

• Pro Tip: Ficus plants don’t like change—once you find the perfect spot with consistent light and temperature, try not to move it too often. A stable environment will help prevent leaf drop and keep it thriving.

Pet-Friendly: No – Like other Ficus varieties, this plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
