Ficus pumila, also known as the creeping fig, is a fast-growing vining plant perfect for terrariums. Its ability to quickly form a lush mat of green makes it an excellent choice for creating a vibrant, natural look in enclosed gardens. 10cm pots available.
Native to: Ficus pumila is native to East Asia, including China, Japan, and Vietnam. It thrives in humid, tropical forests where it climbs trees and walls, covering them with its small, heart-shaped leaves.
Water: Water your Ficus pumila when the top 3 cm of soil is dry. This plant prefers consistently moist soil but is prone to root rot if overwatered. Good drainage is essential, especially in a terrarium setting where humidity levels are high.
Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light conditions, but its growth will be slower, and the leaves might be less dense. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
Humidity: Ficus pumila prefers high humidity levels between 70% and 90%, making it an ideal candidate for terrariums. The enclosed environment of a terrarium naturally provides the humidity this plant needs to thrive. If grown outside of a terrarium, consider using a humidifier
Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18°C to 24°C for optimal growth. This plant does not tolerate cold temperatures well and should be kept away from drafts or temperatures below 15°C. A stable, warm environment will encourage healthy growth and a lush appearance.
