Creeping fig is a delightful little houseplant. It’s also one of the smallest members of the ficus family. The plant is a close cousin to fiddle leaf fig (Ficus lyarata), weeping fig (Ficus benjamina), and even the edible fig (Ficus carica). Unlike much of its family, which grows as upright trees and shrubs, this little plant is a groundcover or vine, depending on how you grow it. 
fig). When it gets too dry, creeping fig will drop its leaves prematurely. 
Hailing from warm, tropical climates, creeping fig appreciates average to above-average relative humidity levels. If the air is too dry, its leaves can go brown and crispy around the edges. 
Avoid growing creeping fig in drafty areas, too. If it’s exposed to airflow that’s considerably warmer or cooler than the ambient air, the leaves could go yellow or brown and drop off. This includes drafts that may come in from exterior doors or windows, as well as the air from heating or cooling vents. 
You typically don’t need to worry about pruning creeping fig, but you can prune or pinch it back at any time of the year without worrying about harming your plant.
