Instructions on How to Harden the Plant:

2. Gradual Lid Removal (Weeks 3-4):
   Gradually increase the time with the lid open each day until it is fully removed. Maintain a humid environment, such as a terrarium or humidity tray, to support the plant's transition.

3. Transition to Open Air (Weeks 5-6):
   Transplant the plants into a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark. Place them in indirect light, and keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering.

4. Regular Care:
   Ficus Elastica 'Shivereana' thrives in moderate humidity. Mist occasionally, and use distilled or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup. Over time, this Ficus will reveal its beautiful, marbled foliage, making it a unique and elegant addition to any indoor garden.
