Plant Experience
Detail
LIGHT
A Creeping Fig needs indirect light from an east or west-facing window. Those with variegated leaves require even more light. These plants do surprisingly well in strong artificial light.
WATER
Keep the soil moist but never soggy. A Creeping Fig deteriorates if allowed to repeatedly dry out.
FERTILIZER
Fertilize a Creeping Fig monthly in the spring, summer, and fall with a basic houseplant food at 1/2 the recommended strength. During fall and winter, fertilize every other month.
TEMPERATURE
A Creeping Fig does well in temperatures between 55-75 degrees.
HUMIDITY
This plant likes plenty of humidity, Placing it on a pebble tray filled with water (do not allow the plant to sit in the water) increases the humidity.
PESTS
Creeping Figs attract Mealy Bugs, scale, white fly, and spider mites.
SOIL
Use a highly organic peat-based soil that drains quickly.
