🌿 Plant Care Instructions

• ☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its beautiful variegation. Can tolerate gentle morning sunlight, but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which may scorch its leaves.

• 💧 Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly, allowing excess moisture to drain completely. Avoid overwatering or allowing the roots to sit in standing water.

• 🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts, freezing temperatures, and sudden temperature changes.

• 💦 Humidity: Enjoys average to moderate household humidity. Occasional extra humidity can help keep its beautiful foliage looking lush and healthy.

• 🪴 Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix that provides proper airflow around the roots. A mixture containing perlite or orchid bark works well.

• 🌱 Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

• ✂️ Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves as needed. Prune occasionally to maintain its shape and encourage branching. Wear gloves when pruning, as the milky sap may irritate skin.

• ✨ Leaf Care: Gently wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and keep their beautiful patterns looking vibrant.

🐾 Pet Toxicity

Not Pet Friendly! Ficus Shivereana Moonshine is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Like other rubber plants in the Ficus family, it contains an irritating milky sap that can cause drooling, vomiting, digestive upset, and skin irritation.

Keep this plant safely out of reach of curious pets and children. Avoid direct contact with its sap, especially when pruning.
