Description
Ficus Pumila Variegata is a vigorous, self-clinging, evergreen vine that holds securely to any surface via aerial rootlets. Leaves are heart-shaped, forming an interesting pattern. Plant covers large areas quickly and grows up to 10-15 ft. tall and 3-6 ft. wide.
Leaves are simple and small. Very pronounced venation on underside of leaf. Two distinct leaf types: juvenile foliage is very small and tend to hug wall, or trellis that it is growing on. Mature foliage is larger to 2 or 3 inches long and the stem get coarse and starts sticking out from rest of vine. Hairy pear-shaped fruits (to 2.5" long) may appear on outdoor plants throughout the year.
Environment
Creeping fig thrives well in indirect sunlight. Plant in a location which protected from wind and afternoon sun. Grow indoors in a soil-based potting mix in bright indirect light or part shade.
This plant is easily grown in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soils. Keep the soil moist by watering daily. Use general purpose fertilizer every 15 days
Landscape Use
Excellent way to add character to a garden wall. Creeping Ficus will attach itself very firmly to walls, wooden fences and the sides of houses or trees.
