Ficus pumila 'Variegata', commonly known as the Variegated Creeping Fig, is a versatile and attractive plant appreciated for its distinctive, heart-shaped leaves with white margins.

Key Characteristics:

  • Foliage: The plant features small, heart-shaped leaves with broad white margins, creating a striking contrast against its green centers. These leaves are approximately 1 inch long and grow along wiry, woody stems.

  • Growth Habit: As a creeping to climbing tropical vine, it can trail elegantly from hanging baskets or climb structures when provided with support. It is a fast, rampant grower that can reach up to 15 feet in height and 6 inches in width.

Cultivation and Care:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, optimal variegation and growth are achieved under brighter light.

  • Watering: Keep the soil moist but never soggy. The leaves of a Ficus pumila deteriorate if the soil is allowed to repeatedly dry out.

  • Humidity: Thrives in warm, humid environments. Regular misting or placing the plant near other plants can help maintain adequate humidity.

  • Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
