Creeping Fig

Ficus pumila

Toxic to pets
Creeping Fig
Light
bright indirect. It climbs toward light, so turn it every few weeks or it will grow lopsided
Water
keep consistently moist. This is one of the few plants here that genuinely will not forgive drying out. Crisp leaves do not come back
Toxicity
toxic to dogs, cats and horses. The ASPCA lists the fig genus (Ficus) rather than this species by name: the milky sap contains ficin and psoralen (ficusin) and causes gastrointestinal and skin irritation

Toxicity confirmed against ASPCA Animal Poison Control (Ficus, genus listing).
