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.

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.
  • 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 spring and summer growth, feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted according to its label about monthly; reduce or pause in winter.
  • 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.

What you receive and optional planter

One live creeping fig in its 6-inch hanging nursery pot; a decorative planter is not included. For a tabletop look, the white Oslo 6-inch decorative planter is sold separately. Its opening is 6.3 inches, but nominal pot sizes vary: measure the hanging pot’s outside width and check whether its hanger can be safely detached before ordering or styling. Oslo has no drainage hole. Remove the nursery pot to water, let it drain completely, and then return it. Decorative furnishings are not included.
