Curly “Dorty” Creeping Fig
Ficus pumila ‘Dorty’
Curly “Dorty” Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila ‘Dorty’) is a unique, compact cultivar of creeping fig featuring small, tightly curled leaves that create a dense, textured look. Its naturally clinging growth habit makes it ideal for covering enclosure backgrounds, cork bark, foam walls, and hardscape, adding instant jungle vibes to bioactive vivariums and terrariums.
This plant thrives in warm, humid environments and is well-suited for mantids, jumping spiders, dart frogs, and other tropical invertebrates or small reptiles. Once established, it will slowly attach and spread, creating natural climbing surfaces and visual depth without overwhelming smaller setups.
