Ficus pumila ‘Curly’ is an original variety of the creeping fig, known for its small, wavy, and highly decorative leaves. Unlike the classic Ficus pumila, its leaves have a frizzy or curly appearance. This climbing plant produces thin, flexible stems that can attach to supports, trellises, or walls, or trail elegantly when grown in hanging baskets. It can quickly create a dense and lush green curtain, perfect for bringing greenery into a limited space. However, like most Ficus plants, it's important to water it regularly. Too little or too much water can cause its leaves to drop.
Caution! Risk of toxicity if ingested.
