Ficus pumila ‘Variegata’, or Variegated Creeping Fig, is a stunning trailing or climbing plant with green and creamy-white marbled leaves.

Its compact, clinging vines make it ideal for small spaces and container arrangements.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Needs bright, indirect light to maintain variegation

• Avoid harsh direct sunlight – may burn leaves

• Too little light can cause loss of variegation (reverting to green)

💧 Watering

• Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry

• Likes consistent moisture, especially in warm weather

• Increase humidity with misting or pebble trays in dry indoor air

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Use a light, well-draining potting mix

• Great in hanging pots, wall planters, or shallow bowls

• Repot when rootbound or when soil becomes compacted

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temp: 18–27°C (65–80°F)

• Avoid cold drafts and temps below 10°C (50°F)

• Thrives in high humidity environments—perfect for terrariums or bathrooms

🍃 Fertilizing

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer

• Use a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer

• Avoid over-fertilizing—too much can harm roots and fade color

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune lightly to control shape and encourage fullness

• Remove any all-green leaves to preserve variegation

• Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and keep them healthy

✅ Ideal For

• Hanging baskets, terrariums, moss poles, or vertical gardens
