Ficus ‘Shriveana Moonshine’

Ficus ‘Shivereana Moonshine’ is a true collector’s variety, prized for its soft, mottled variegation in shades of creamy green and silvery mint. Each leaf looks lightly speckled, almost watercoloured, making every plant slightly unique. It has the same sturdy structure as other rubber plants, but with a much lighter, almost ethereal twist.

Ficus elastica

Ficus elastica varieties are upright tropical plants known for their thick, glossy leaves and strong vertical growth. They prefer bright light and stable conditions, and once settled in, they grow steadily with minimal fuss. Consistency is important—sudden changes in light or watering can cause leaf drop.

Caring for Ficus ‘Shriveana Moonshine’

 Light Needs

Bright, indirect light is essential to maintain strong variegation. Too little light may cause fading or more solid green growth, while direct sun can scorch the lighter areas.

 Watering

Allow the top several centimetres of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess drains freely—this plant prefers evenly moist soil but dislikes sitting in water.

 Feeding

Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter as growth naturally slows.
