Ficus pumila Creeping Fig Live Terrarium Vivarium Plant

Let Nature Take Over

Few plants create the feeling of a living rainforest quite like Ficus pumila.

Also known as the Creeping Fig, this charming tropical vine is loved for its tiny heart-shaped leaves and its ability to naturally climb, trail, and spread across hardscape. Whether it's gently cascading over a rock, climbing a piece of driftwood, or slowly covering a background wall, Ficus pumila brings movement and life to any miniature ecosystem.

In nature, it can be found creeping along tree trunks, stone walls, and forest floors, creating lush carpets of greenery. In terrariums and paludariums, it behaves much the same way, gradually transforming the landscape into something that feels mature, wild, and beautifully natural.
