Ficus punctata

Description

A climbing green layer with a little more control. Ficus punctata grows readily over supports, but is less vigorous than the usual creeping fig.

In your tropical vivarium: Root into an airy planting pocket and guide stems up cork, wood or a textured background in your tropical vivarium. Trim runners to keep viewing areas and smaller plants clear.

Care essentials: Bright, indirect light; humidity with ventilation; moist but freely draining roots. Avoid a constantly saturated root ball.

Also at home: Pot in a draining container with an airy mix. Let it trail from a shelf or provide a climbing support in a bright, humid indoor spot.
