Ficus 'shivereana' (Moonshine)

Meet the Moonshine Ficus — Nature's Living Artwork

Imagine a plant that looks like sunlight filtered through a forest canopy — that's the Ficus shivereana 'Moonshine'. Its broad, leathery leaves are dappled with creamy mint and soft green variegation, giving it an ethereal, glowing quality unlike any other Ficus. Place it in a bright corner and watch it become the undeniable focal point of any room.

Rarer than the popular Ficus altissima, the Moonshine's mottled variegation is uniquely its own — no two leaves are exactly alike. It's the kind of plant that stops guests mid-sentence.
