Ficus Elastica Shivereana Plant Features
Ficus Elastica ‘Shivereana’ is pretty rare, but we’ve managed to find some. It’s a classy rubber plant with light-green and pinky-orange speckled leaves.
Variegated ficus is the beautifully variegated version of the ficus elastica rubber plant (aka 'Shivereana’). There is also the variegated ficus lyrata and variegated ficus benjamina. They all are very similar to the classic versions of the plant but with a creamy variegated border. The ‘Shivereana’ is a standout beauty and one of my favorite plants.
Ficus Elastica ‘Shivereana’Growing Instructions
Light Needs
Bright but indirect light is best to get the most out of the variegation, but no direct sun as it could burn the leaves, especially the variegated areas. A good place for them is to the side of a bright window, out of the direct sun but still receiving plenty of indirect suns.
Fertilizer
Feed it a balanced fertilizer once a month in spring and summer.
Soil
A well-draining potting compost is ideal.
Humidity
50% humidity is best. They will do ok a bit above and below too.
Temperature
15oC-25oC (59oF-77oF), they will be fine in most homes.
