RE: Climb the Walls with Ficus pumila

in #ficus6 years ago

Amazing plant, my friend and Ficus pumila - creeping fig vigorous evergreen climber with heart shaped foliage, suited to planting in shaded locations. Trim regularly to maintain fresh foliage.

USES: An ideal solution to unsightly fences and walls. Works well over archways, planted as topiary and even indoors for a little greenery! Plant in hanging baskets to enjoy the cascading foliage.
PLANTING: Plant in a mostly shaded location with plenty of indirect light. Plant in free draining soil rich in organic matter.
CARE: Mulch and water regularly until plant becomes established. Feed with a controlled release yearly during spring and follow up with liquid fertiliser monthly during Summer. Provide extra water during dry periods. Growth can be prolific, trim side shoots & shape as required. Suited to planting in most areas of Australia excluding the highlands and areas around Hobart.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: up to 6m H x 6m W.
PLEASE NOTE: These plants are tube-stock plants, with the benefit of being a young plant they will establish quickly in your garden. The average size of your plants will be 15 -25 cm in height with a pot size of 42 mm wide and 80 mm high.
