Sale price  $29.95 Regular price 

Creeping fig (Ficus pumila) sends out fine trailing vines lined with small green leaves. Let it spill from a hanging basket or give it a support to climb. Its changing vine length and fullness give each plant its own shape.

Points of interest and size

  • One live creeping fig in a 6-inch hanging nursery pot. Vine length, fullness, and leaf count vary; the listing does not promise a fixed trailing length.
  • With time and support, vines can grow much longer than the plant that ships. Trim to maintain the size that fits your space; this vigorous plant may attach to surfaces if allowed to climb.

What you receive

One live creeping fig in its 6-inch hanging nursery pot. Decorative planters and furnishings are not included.

Optional decorative planters

For tabletop styling, choose the black BASEL 6-inch planter, white BASEL 6-inch planter, black Oslo 6-inch planter, or white Oslo 6-inch planter. Decorative planters are sold separately and are not included; the plant ships in its hanging nursery pot.

Care guide

  • Light: Bright indirect or filtered light is ideal. Avoid prolonged harsh direct afternoon sun, especially indoors behind hot glass.
  • Water: Water thoroughly when the upper layer of mix starts to dry, then let excess drain. Aim for lightly and consistently moist, not soggy, soil; hanging baskets can dry faster than tabletop pots.
  • Soil: Use an airy, well-draining indoor potting mix in a container with drainage holes. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. Keep the mix airy while maintaining light, consistent moisture.
  • Humidity and temperature: Moderate humidity can help keep leaves fresh. If the air is very dry, consider a humidifier rather than relying on daily misting. Keep away from cold drafts and drying vents.
  • Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
  • Pruning: Trim long or sparse vines with clean shears to encourage branching; remove dead growth and keep vines away from surfaces you do not want them to attach to.
  • Repotting: When roots crowd the hanging pot, move up one pot size in fresh draining mix, or prune back to maintain the existing size.
  • Propagation: Root healthy stem cuttings with nodes in moist propagation mix or water in warm, bright indirect conditions.

Pet safety

Keep away from cats and dogs: chewing ficus can cause irritation or digestive upset. Sap can also irritate sensitive skin.
