Creeping Fig - 6" Grow bag

Ficus pumila, the Creeping Fig, is a vigorous self-clinging vine with small, neat heart-shaped leaves that form a dense, fine-textured green carpet over walls, trellises, pots and topiary frames. It attaches by aerial rootlets, making it superb for living walls and softening hard surfaces in shaded courtyards. Easy and fast-growing, it also makes a charming trailing houseplant and terrarium filler. It likes bright indirect light to part shade with steady moisture and humidity. Regular trimming keeps it tidy; on walls it should be managed as the clinging roots can mark surfaces. A reliable, low-fuss green for Indian gardens.

Growing tips
