Ficus vaccinioides, commonly known as Creeping Fig, is an evergreen subshrub native to the forest floors and rocky areas of Taiwan. It typically grows to a height of 3 feet (0.9 meters) and can spread up to 3 feet (0.9 meters) wide. This plant is characterized by its creeping habit, with small, heart-shaped leaves that are densely packed along its slender stems. The foliage is deep green and may have a leathery texture. While it rarely flowers in cultivation, when it does, the flowers are inconspicuous. Creeping Fig is often used as a ground cover due to its low-growing nature and ability to form a dense carpet of foliage.

Creeping Fig is valued for its lush, evergreen foliage and its ability to cover unattractive surfaces, making it a popular choice for ground cover, wall coverings, and topiaries in tropical and subtropical gardens. It thrives in a range of light conditions from full sun to part shade, preferring well-drained soils. It is relatively low maintenance but may require occasional pruning to keep it in check. In some regions, plant with care to prevent unwanted spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
