Ficus shivereana is a unique and eye-catching variety of ficus known for its mottled, variegated foliage. Its leaves display a mix of light green, cream, and sometimes even hints of yellow, creating a marbled effect that sets it apart from more common ficus varieties. Native to tropical regions, this plant has a compact yet upright growth habit, making it a great choice for indoor spaces. Like other members of the Ficus genus, it can develop a woody stem over time, giving it the appearance of a miniature tree when mature.
Caring for Ficus shivereana involves providing bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation, though it can tolerate lower light conditions with slower growth. It prefers well-draining soil and moderate watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. High humidity and stable temperatures help it thrive, as it can be sensitive to sudden environmental changes. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth, and occasional wiping of the leaves helps keep them dust-free for optimal photosynthesis.
