Ficus pumila ‘Arina’
Ficus ‘Arina’ is an attractive creeping or trailing houseplant with masses of small, heart-shaped green leaves carried along slender stems. Its fresh foliage and naturally spreading growth create a soft, leafy appearance, while new leaves emerge a lighter green before deepening in colour as they mature.
Perfect for shelves, hanging pots or trailing from the edge of a planter, ‘Arina’ can also be encouraged to climb a support for a more upright display. Its compact leaves make it particularly useful for adding greenery to smaller indoor spaces, and it performs best in bright, indirect light with consistent moisture.
- Other names: Creeping Fig, Climbing Fig
- Useful to know: Toxic if ingested - keep away from pets and children
- Eventual height: Trailing or climbing stems 100-200cm+
- Origins: Cultivated selection; species native to East Asia
Ficus Care Sheet
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal, although it will tolerate some light shade. Avoid prolonged strong direct sunlight which can scorch the foliage.
Water: Keep the compost lightly moist during active growth, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid allowing the plant to completely dry out or sit in water.
Soil/Nutrition: Use a free-draining houseplant compost. Feed every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant feed.
Humidity: Appreciates moderate to higher humidity, particularly in warm rooms, but will adapt to normal household conditions.
Pruning and propagation: Trim longer stems regularly to maintain a compact, bushy shape. Propagate easily from stem cuttings during spring and summer.
Experience level: Beginner.
