The Variegated Rubber Plant: A Statement of Style
Ficus elastica 'Shivereana' is a captivating houseplant that will add a touch of vibrant elegance to your indoor space. This unique cultivar of the Rubber Plant is prized for its stunning variegated foliage, showcasing a captivating blend of colours.
Distinctive Features
- Leaves: Large, glossy, oval-shaped leaves with a striking variegation pattern. The leaves typically feature shades of green, cream, and sometimes even pink or red, creating a truly unique and eye-catching display.
- Growth Habit: This Ficus has an upright growth habit with a strong central stem. It can reach a height of 1-2 metres (3-6 feet) indoors but can grow much taller in its natural habitat.
Care Tips
- Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to be cautious.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter.

- Fertiliser: Use a diluted liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Pruning: You can prune this Ficus to maintain its shape and size. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth.
