The Ficus elastica  'Shivereana' is a hybrid of the classic Ficus elastica plants we are familiar with. The leaves range from a mint green to cream colour, with darker green speckles and sections throughout the leaf. The new leaves that grow can start off with a pink hue, before settling to its normal green-speckled colour.

The care is similar to the other Ficus elastica plants, but this plant can be a bit more finicky when not given the optimal conditions, or if you move it often. Also, avoid placing these plants in drafty areas. Please see the care requirements in the following tabs.

 

These are toxic to pets, so be careful with your furry friends. The sap can also be toxic to humans if in contact with mucous membranes. When pruning the plant, make sure that you wash your hands after and do not touch your eyes and mouth.

Note: Plants are unique! The plant pictured is meant to give you an idea of the specification and quality of the plant you will receive, but will not be an exact replica.

Light Requirements

Bright

This plant thrives in bright indirect sunlight. However, direct light is too intense, and will cause burning. These plants do not like lower light, so give them as much indirect light as possible! Rotate your plant regularly to maintain an even shape.

Water Requirements

Low to Moderate

Ensure that the plant dries out before your next water. Ficus elastica do not like to be kept wet and are sensitive to overwatering. In the winter months, err on the side of caution and do not water thoroughly. Note: Be sure not to let the plant sit in pooled water as that can cause root rot.
