Care information

LISTING IS FOR ONE CUTTING MINIMUM, photos #2 and #3 are representative of what you will receive. If the plants need a good trim, sometimes it will be a bit more, but what you see pictured is the absolute minimum to expect.

Some of y'all like variegated stuff so this one's for you! F. pumila are pretty bulletproof. Get one of these if you want to make sure you have a low stress plant. This thing can grow kinda quick though. This is the standard form, not minima.

Place on some damp sphagnum and keep the humidity high to promote rooting.

Plant Details
Airflow
Medium — Essential for "wetish" setups. Needs regular air exchange or internal circulation fans to prevent water from sitting on leaves, which helps avoid rot and fungal issues.
Family
Moraceae
Growth strategy
Epiphyte
Humidity
60–80% — Suitable for "open-top" or partially ventilated terrariums. While higher than average household humidity, these plants are adaptable and less prone to leaf melt if the environment fluctuates slightly.
Lighting
Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH
6.5–7.5 — Neutral: Suitable for hardy species that are less sensitive to water chemistry. This range is common in setups using tap water or inert substrates like clay pebbles and stones.
Sales form
Cutting
Size
Small
Temperature
70–85°F — Standard Tropical Range. This mirrors the natural understory of the rainforest, providing enough warmth for vigorous growth while remaining safe from the extreme heat that can bake a closed glass enclosure.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
Old World — Native to the Eastern Hemisphere: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and surrounding islands.
