Avoid direct sunlight, will tolerate a shady or low lit environment, does not like wet feet, will develop root rot
The creeping fig does like to be pot bound to a certain degree. However, it likes to spread it's roots just like it does outdoors and in it's natural habitat, so you are best to re-pot it every two years and cut back roots which are outside the main root section. If you're increasing the pot size and want the plant to grow more you do not need to cut back any roots. Cutting back roots should be done during spring when pruning is done.
Fertilise once a month with diluted liquid fertiliser. A hardy, fast growing and potentially out of control plant that will take over if allowed.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings,
Purchased 2019, potted into hanging basket and hung from trellis in Alfresco. A position it apparently loves
