Creeping Fig, 12cm

Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila)

Common Names in South Africa: Creeping Fig, Climbing Fig, Fig Ivy
Overview: Native to East Asia, the Creeping Fig is a fast-growing, evergreen vine with small, heart-shaped leaves that create a lush, green carpet. Ideal for covering walls, trellises, or as a trailing houseplant in South African homes, it thrives in bright, indirect light and adds a charming, verdant touch.
Quirky Fact: Its tiny leaves cling like a plant superhero scaling walls, ready to conquer any surface!
Care for Damaged Leaves: Trim damaged or brown leaves with clean scissors to encourage new growth. With adequate humidity, well-draining soil, and proper light, recovery typically takes 24 weeks.
Safety Note: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing irritation. Sap may irritate skin, so keep away from children and pets.
