Ficus Shivereana Moonshine

Botanical Name: Ficus shivereana
Common Name(s): Moonshine Rubber Plant, Silver Rubber Plant

The Ficus Shivereana Moonshine is a striking and visually unique cultivar of the Rubber Plant species, prized for its silvery-gray, almost metallic-colored leaves. The plant’s large, thick leaves have a pale, silvery-green hue that gives it an otherworldly, moonlit appearance, making it an eye-catching addition to any home or office space. The smooth, glossy texture of the leaves and their soft, silvery sheen create a modern, sophisticated aesthetic, perfect for contemporary decor. As it matures, the leaves may deepen slightly in color, but they retain their silvery quality, setting this plant apart from other varieties of Ficus. 

Native to Southeast Asia, this rubber plant thrive in tropical climates but adapt well to indoor environments, making them popular among houseplant enthusiasts. The Ficus Shivereana Moonshine typically grows to a height of 6–10 feet (1.8–3 meters) indoors, though it can be pruned to maintain a more compact size if desired. Its upright growth habit and attractive, light-colored foliage make it an ideal statement plant for modern interiors.

This plant prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its silvery hue. In lower light conditions, the leaves may lose some of their vibrant color and revert to a more muted green. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, it is important to avoid prolonged exposure, as this can lead to leaf burn and discoloration. The optimal temperature range for this Ficus is between 60-75°F (16-24°C), and it should be kept away from cold drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations to thrive.

To keep the plant looking its best, regularly clean the glossy leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and help it photosynthesize effectively. The Ficus Shivereana Moonshine is a relatively low-maintenance plant that adds a touch of elegance and interest to any space.

Note: Like other Ficus, this plant is toxic to pets, especially cats and dogs, if ingested. It is essential to keep this plant out of reach of pets and handle it carefully when pruning or repotting.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, or when the ficus becomes root-bound. Handle with care as the sap can irritate the skin.
  2. Silvery Hue Intensity: The intensity of the silvery metallic hue can vary depending on the amount of bright indirect light the plant receives.
  3. Prune regularly: Prune regularly to remove any dead or damaged leaves and leggy growth to encourage new growth. 
  4. Fertilize once a month: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season.
  5. Avoid drafts: Keep your Ficus away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
