Ficus pumila ‘Bellus’
Ficus pumila ‘Bellus’ is an attractive trailing or climbing houseplant with masses of small green leaves edged and splashed with creamy white variegation. Its delicate foliage is carried along slender stems, creating a fresh, softly textured appearance, while the irregular markings ensure every leaf has its own individual character.
Perfect for shelves, hanging pots or trailing over the edge of decorative containers, ‘Bellus’ can also be encouraged to climb a support for a more upright display. Bright, indirect light will help maintain its crisp variegation, making it an excellent choice for adding light, leafy texture to smaller rooms and mixed houseplant displays.
- Other names: Variegated Creeping Fig, Variegated 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 and will help maintain the strongest variegation. 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 letting the plant 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.
