Origin: Native to the mystical regions of Southeast Asia, the Ficus Shivereana Moonshine is a hybrid rubber plant known for its striking, minty-green leaves adorned with creamy-white and dark green flecks. As the leaves mature, they develop a beautiful green coloration, adding to their charm.

Light: This magical plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of natural light, but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Brighter light will help maintain its colorful variegation.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings. During the winter months, reduce watering to prevent overwatering.
