I'm in LOVE with this plant! 😍I bought one last year at my local nursery in a 6 inch pot for only $8 without even knowing the deal I was getting. I just knew I'd never heard or seen of such a ficus and HAD to have it in my collection. I would have easily paid up for it if I needed to. I'm already a ficus fan but something about this plant will make me forever own one. Thank you for always providing us with helpful information!!😁
A tip to make it more bushy: make slight cuts with a sterilezed razor on its trunk when you see it becomes one branch plant. From the cuts will spring out new leaves and brunches.
Gorgeous! Thanks for the tips. So excited as I got a killer deal yesterday on one that is about a foot tall and super healthy-looking. It didn’t have a price tag and was the only one, so they gave it to me for four bucks!
Very beautiful plant. These were $29.99 at my local grocery store. No one touched them because the plants were like cuttings and for that price. I waited til clearance and am so glad I got them. Bought 2 which I had to cut down to 2-3 leaves once home due to not being in the greatest health. I replanted the same day watered and put them under a grow light they both put out a new leaf within a month. 😊
I've honestly found them fairly similar in care, but I like the shivereana variegation more... you'd think it would the other way round because I'm not usually a fan of yellow/lime leaves but this one is just 😍
Great Vidio. Answered alot of my questions. I thought you were in the UK but you have a slight accent and not totally English so was unsure. Brilliant too have someone also growing in UK who gives great advice. Thanks XSarah.Devon.
Arizona, mine is outdoors on a covered patio. It almost died being inside, so as a last resort I put it outside. It loves the outdoors. I cut it back because it gets out of control even in a pot. I’m limited on space and how many plants I can have, so no lush mini-jungle for me.
I bought mine in August 22 but it hasn't done anything since I brought it home. Should I put it in a prop box or maybe my heat mat under grow lights? it is currently in front of a window, so gets indirect light all day. I dont water unless my water metre thingy says its dry. I would expect it to go dormant in winter but sep to nov have been pretty mild. Any tips anyone?
@juliehollandblubookkeeping8027 ~ It's been awhile since you posted this comment, but how's your plant doing now? I know that Ficus get stressed out faster and more easily than other plants, so that could account for no new growth for awhile after bringing it home, but what about feed? I don't know if you're a new "plant parent" or not, but a lot of newbies either don't know about, or forget, about their plants needing feed.
@@TinyHyena1967 Oh its doing really well now. I have it on a heat mat under grow lights and have feed in my water all year. Its a thirsty plant for me so its getting water a couple of times a week. It is putting out new leaves monthly now, almost contunually has a new leaf growing. I love it. Thanks for asking. Do you have one? hows yours doing?
They just zoom in on it. Really decieving and unfair. Ive been caught out like this many a time. I try to look for reviews which include photos on Amazon now and compare photos.

Same same same I got it for 4.50!!!!!😂😂😂😂
@@deidrajimi9816 Oh Yeah!!! you did real good! 🤣 5.99 each for me. Honestly they are Divine. I know you’re happy to have yours. ☺️💜🪴
@@carmelwine7610 they really are. I’m so happy I found it especially that cheap. How is yours doing?
@@deidrajimi9816 Hey! Mine are doing great! Their under the grow light loving it. How about yours?
Please can we have an update on this plant? 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is top of my wishlist since getting my other two ficus! I saw one for £9.99 and super gutted I didn't buy it at the time.
they've started selling these at my local garen center for like 5€, which is craaazy!
This video was helpful, thanks for the tips. Been watching your videos for awhile great content 😊
Thanks alot for preparing this nice video. I wish you always all the best.I,m watching you from Iran. ❤🦋🙋♂️👍💐
Great content 😊
So glad you made this video. This plant is on my radar... Do you prefer it or the tineke better?
I've honestly found them fairly similar in care, but I like the shivereana variegation more... you'd think it would the other way round because I'm not usually a fan of yellow/lime leaves but this one is just 😍
i bought one in a 3" pot it was 13$ and i had no idea they were rare i guess i got expensive taste lmao. Its very beautiful.
Yay for expensive taste! These were $29.99 at my grocery store. I waited til markdown. Score. Very beautiful plant. ☺️
Nice plant. Thanks for sharing!

Hey! Yeah I am London based but am from California originally
Thank you❤️ subscribed
all varieties of ficus lives in full sun here in asia. it's a humongous tree in case you didn't know.
Arizona, mine is outdoors on a covered patio. It almost died being inside, so as a last resort I put it outside. It loves the outdoors. I cut it back because it gets out of control even in a pot. I’m limited on space and how many plants I can have, so no lush mini-jungle for me.
The other half of the hybrid is Hevea variegata
Thank you. Is the care similar for other ficus elasticas? Xx
yeah I've pretty much treated my other rubber trees the same way
so when using a grow light, how bright should my setting be? Like the brightest setting for 8hours okay?
honestly it depends on the light. Defo worth getting a free light metre app to see what the light is at each setting
Just bought a little one I hope it makes it 😂
I have a baby shivereana? Do you think it would like IKEA greenhouse conditions?
Yeah I don’t see why it wouldn’t but it defo doesn’t need the high humidity

Had mine for about two months. Had a curled up new leaf on arrival but also does not seem too have done anything.
Most ficus don't handle stress and change very well so it might be spring before you get any sort of significant growth

I've Got A Baby One... They Must've Taken A Real Close Up Pic To Make IT Appear Bigger Than IT Was!!!
