Ficus Shivereana
Ficus Elastica ‘Shivereana’
The plant, by the plant
Oh la la - I'm the Shivereana, the rubber tree that went to art school. Every leaf is speckled and marbled in cream, mint and blush like hand-thrown terrazzo, and no two leaves ever repeat the pattern. Bonus party trick: my new leaves unfurl from a pink paper sheath, a little gift-wrap moment every few weeks.
Underneath the paintwork I'm still a rubber tree: famously easy. Bright, indirect light keeps my colours loud (if I'm fading, move me closer to a window) and I drink only when my soil's dried out.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 15-25cm tall
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 40-60cm tall
- X-Large - 250mm nursery pot, approx 60-80cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: irritant sap - admire, don't snack.
Keep my speckles gleaming with The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine, and double down on terrazzo in a Jardin Terrazzo Pot in White.

Care tips
Water regularly leaving the top of the soil to dry out in between waterings and prefers to be homed in a bright room with some direct sunlight. Rotate the plant every week as the leaves bend towards the light and this plant looks best with an even display of leaves. Fertilise in warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
