Creeping fig (Ficus pumila)

The creeping fig drapes beautifully and is fairly easy to maintain. It’s known for rapid growth and its ability to cover unsightly walls and fences. It’s also hardy enough to survive in almost any light. That dark shadowy corner of your living room will do just fine.

You have to keep this plant pruned because it’s kind of like the ugly duckling in reverse. The leaves are attractive to start but can dull over time.

FYI: This one can cause digestive and external skin irritation.
