4" Ficus shivereana 'Moonshine'
Care
Bright indirect light
Allow soil to dry almost completely
Ficus shivereana 'Moonshine' is an uncommon Ficus species with 'mint' or mottled variegation.
While similar to Ficus altissima, Ficus shivereana 'Moonshine' has different variegation.
Ficus care is relatively simple. Most Ficus plants prefer bright indirect light. Make sure your plant is in a well draining soil rich in organic matter and allow it to dry out almost completely between watering. Take care not to place your Ficus near a cold window or near a heat/ac vent.

Wishlist plant at a great price. Arrived quickly. Packed well. Healthy and so cute!!!
This plant came in an order of 3, 2 Hoyas and this Ficus. This was my first order from Canopy and this Ficus and the Hoya parviflora arrived in good shape and have continued to thrive since they were delivered. I've been wanting the Ficus Shivereana since I first saw it online earlier this year and am delighted to have received a lovely, healthy (though smaller than I expected) individual. So far, it is doing well, and I look forward to it continuing to thrive and grow larger in my care, like two other Ficus plants I already have are doing.
beautiful plant! cannot wait for it to mature.
Beautiful plant, came very healthy. Thank you very much. Will definitely purchase from this company again.
I’ve had this little ficus under a month and it’s doing very well. Put off a new leaf in that time and I can’t wait to watch it grow. Thanks for this beauty.
