Tiny leaves that climb or trail
Ficus pumila · also known as Creeping fig, climbing fig, tickey creeper
Native to East Asia (China, Japan, Vietnam)
A fast, small-leaved fig that clings to surfaces as it climbs or spills from a pot. Indoors it makes a dense, fine-textured trailer for shelves and hanging pots.
- A creeping fig in a 12cm grow pot, ready to trail from a shelf or climb a moss pole.
- Small, dense leaves give a fine-textured, lush look indoors.
- Happy in bright indirect light with evenly moist soil and a little humidity.
Where it thrives
The best spot in your home
Bright, indirect light near an east-facing window or set back from a north-facing one. A humid spot such as a bright bathroom keeps the leaves lush.
Safety: Keep away from pets and kids.
