Care (or how to keep this marbled giant in top shape):

🌞 Bright, indirect light: Ficus Elastica Schrijveriana loves bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it receives filtered light to keep its marbled colors vibrant and its leaves shiny. Be careful not to expose direct sunlight, which can burn its leaves! If you want its light shades to shine, give it the right light!

💧 Moderate watering: This ficus is easy-going when it comes to watering. It prefers the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, so water when the top layer is dry to the touch. A little tip: use filtered water or let it sit to avoid tap chemicals that can affect its roots. Balanced watering will keep its leaves healthy and shiny!

🌿 Medium Humidity: Although Schrijveriana is resistant to different levels of humidity, it will do wonderfully in a moderately humid environment. If you live in a dry environment, you can place a tray with water and stones nearby or group it with other plants to increase the humidity. This way, its leaves will continue to look amazing and without dry tips!

🥂 Occasional fertilization: Give your plant a little liquid fertilizer for indoor plants every 4 to 6 weeks during spring and summer. This will keep it growing strong and with those dazzling marbled leaves. In winter, reduce the frequency of fertilization since it will be in its resting period.

🏺 A well-drained pot: Ficus Elastica Schrijveriana needs a pot that allows for good drainage to avoid excess water on its roots. Use an aerated substrate and mix in perlite to improve drainage. A special tip: if you see that its roots are starting to come out of the bottom of the pot, it's time to give it a new, slightly larger home!

Pruning and cleaning: To keep it in its best shape, you can trim its branches if you see that they are spreading too much or if you prefer a more compact size. Also, wipe its leaves with a damp cloth from time to time to remove dust and maintain its natural shine.
