Ficus Cristina

Traditionally a tropical garden plant, Snow Bush is slowly becoming recognized as a house plant. Slender branches of this tropical shrub are densely covered with rounded green leaves, spectacularly splashed with white. The variety ‘Rosea Picta’ adds pink to the white and green foliage, giving the false impression of a flowering shrub. Flowers do sometimes appear on mature plants, although they’re not at all showy. These odd-looking flowers are small and green, hiding under the foliage. Keep it moist. Make this tropical beauty feel at home by boosting the humidity around it. Set the pot on a pebble tray or use a room humidifier to keep the relative humidity above 50%. Also keep the soil moist at all times. Cut it back. Snow Bush grows quickly and will get quite large if not pruned. Cut the stems with sharp pruners to avoid tearing them.
