New foliage often emerges with a beautiful peachy-pink blush before gradually developing its mature colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied in an \u003cstrong\u003e11cm nursery pot\u003c\/strong\u003e at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e25cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is a compact young plant with plenty of character. Because the variegation develops differently on every leaf, each plant has its own individual mix of colour and pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight \u0026amp; Position\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive Ficus elastica ‘Shivereana’ plenty of \u003cstrong\u003ebright, indirect or filtered light\u003c\/strong\u003e. Good natural light helps maintain the plant's pale variegation and encourages healthy, compact growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA little gentle morning or evening sunshine can be beneficial, but avoid prolonged harsh midday sun through glass, which may scorch the lighter areas of the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the upper half of the compost to dry before watering thoroughly, then allow all excess water to drain away. Rubber Plants prefer a regular wet-to-dry watering cycle and should not be left sitting in permanently wet compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater less frequently during autumn and winter when growth slows. If you're unsure whether it needs watering, it is generally safer to wait a little longer than to keep the roots continually wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHumidity \u0026amp; Temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus elastica ‘Shivereana’ adapts well to normal household humidity and prefers \u003cstrong\u003ewarm, stable indoor conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e. Keep away from cold draughts, radiators and sudden changes in temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you find a bright position where your Rubber Plant is growing happily, try to keep its conditions relatively consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed regularly during spring and summer while the plant is actively growing using a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser. Reduce or stop feeding during autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowth \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Shivereana’ has a naturally upright growth habit and can gradually develop into an impressive variegated indoor tree. New leaves emerge rolled from the growing tip, often displaying their strongest pink or peach colouring when young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOccasionally wipe the foliage gently with a soft damp cloth to remove dust and keep the naturally glossy leaves looking their best. Turn the plant every few weeks if necessary to encourage balanced growth towards the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful lime green, cream and deep green variegated foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeachy-pink colouring on fresh new leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery leaf develops its own individual pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact young plant with an upright, architectural habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan grow into an impressive statement houseplant over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA colourful alternative to the traditional dark green Rubber Plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePet \u0026amp; Child Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus elastica is \u003cstrong\u003etoxic if eaten\u003c\/strong\u003e, and its milky latex sap can cause skin or mouth irritation.
