Ficus elastica 'Shivereana', commonly referred to as "Moonshine" develops the most stunning variegated foliage in shades of minty to lime green with specks and splotches of cream, white and dark green. Can even develop warm peachy hues depending on amount of light it receives.
Note to customer: Do not repot right away. Provide sufficient light and warmth, and at the very least allow a few weeks to get acclimated to its new environment before disturbing the roots.
~Although drought tolerant, do not allow your Ficus to dry out too much. In general, Ficus should be kept slightly moist during the growing season. Water when the top 2" of soil are dry. They do not like wet feet, so if 30 minutes after watering you see water in the saucer, pour it away.
~ Ficus prefer medium to bright light & can even be acclimated to grow in full sun. Do not place in low light areas.
~Do Not place in drafty areas or under/near an air vent. Unless temperature & humidity are high, drafts or cold air may cause Ficus to drop their lower leaves.
I am a fan of Ficuses, and I have two others. The variegated leaves on this ficus, plus the lime green color makes this Ficus Elastica Shivereana a must have. As before it was delivered without any issues, plus it arrived on time. It was well packaged and I love the the extra effort, put forth by Gabriella Plants.
I love the variegated lime green leaves! The Ficus, that was delivered to me, is already sprouting out a new leaf. This Ficus just add to my collection of other varieties!
I am so impressed with this company! They have wonderful products excellently packaged and for a great price! I have ordered twice and will order again.
Was the smallest of all the plants that I ordered, but hope you can see in the second pic it is already growing new leaves. Such an interesting addition to my rubber trees. Love it!
I love these ficus! The colors pop in person! I am using the for table centerpieces for an event so they will be gifted. I’m sad I won’t have one for my collection. I would have ordered 10 of them if I could have. They are healthy. Packaging was excellent. Gabriella has great customer service too. I trust them to deliver healthy pest free plants!
This little cutie is getting bigger by the week. She had a little setback and dropped some leaves, but seems to be bouncing back and putting out a new one!
Beautiful plant. Just wish when shipping they would add tape around the gap between the plant and the pot, just to keep the soil in place. Because by the time I received it, there was loose soil on the box and leaves of plant. Shipping was fast but did notice there was no fragile sticker or live plant sticker on box. A bit disappointed because base on photo I expected my plant to be a little more bigger.
