Ficus pumila
Creeping Fig
Clinging vine for larger cases — beautiful, but prune relentlessly.
Creeping fig climbs glass and hardscape with tiny leaves. Only use it if you will prune; it can dominate small ecosystems.
Why it works
Creates living walls in cabinets when controlled — skip it in nano jars.
Watering notes
Likes steady moisture. Drying cracks the fine leaves quickly.
Care tips
- Start with one small cutting.
- Prune monthly.
- Keep away from slow moss feature areas.
Common problems
- Total takeover.
- Bare woody stems if light is poor.
- Difficult removal once adhered to glass.
