Ficus pumila f. variegata
Ficus pumila 'Variegata', also known as creeping fig or variegated dwarf fig, is an attractive Ficus variety with its dense foliage and small leaves covered in variegated patterns in creamy white and green. It is a climbing plant much appreciated for its ability to quickly cover surfaces such as walls or trellises, providing a lush green appearance.
Origin: Native to East Asia, particularly China, Japan and Vietnam, Ficus pumila 'Variegata' is adapted to climb along surfaces, using its small aerial roots to cling and spread.
Growth: This variety of Ficus pumila is fast growing and can cover large areas if not pruned. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors in regions where temperatures do not drop below 0°C.
Flowers: Like most Ficus, Ficus pumila 'Variegata' rarely produces flowers, especially indoors. The flowers are small and often hidden under the leaves, having little decorative interest.
Light: Prefers indirect light or partial shade. Too much direct sun can burn its delicate leaves, especially those that are variegated, while a lack of light can reduce the vibrancy of the variegation.
Watering: Watering should be regular but moderate, allowing the substrate to dry out a little between waterings. Ficus pumila 'Variegata' is susceptible to root rot if the substrate is constantly wet.
Substrate: A draining potting mix is essential. Ideally, the substrate for tropicals enriched with perlite is ideal for ensuring adequate drainage while retaining sufficient humidity.
Toxicity: Ficus pumila 'Variegata' can be irritating if ingested or if latex escapes from plant cuts, potentially irritating to skin and mucous membranes. It is recommended to keep this plant out of reach of children and pets.
Ficus pumila 'Variegata' is ideal for those looking to add an element of variegated greenery to their space, whether by covering an interior wall or as part of a vertical garden. Its ability to adapt to various indoor environments and relatively easy care make it a popular choice among houseplants.
