Ficus pumila

Ficus pumila is a fast growing species of Ficus native to Vietnam / Japan. It has bright green leaves. It does well in bright, indirect light and high humidity. Moist soil and sphagnum moss are helpful for rooting this species. This vine can be tough to keep up with, so prune it appropriately. It is used primarily to cover backgrounds quickly, and is not a picky grower.

All of our cuttings have adventitious, aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
