My main aspect is east so lots of morning sun, but I also have a bit of north through louvres (see pictures). To soften the two white balcony walls I was considering trying to grow ficus pumila, or creeping fig, to cover them. It's like a tiny miniature ivy, and if it's happy the two walls will end up looking like hedges. Has anyone had experience growing creeping fig from a pot onto a wall? normally they're planted into the ground (which obviously I can't do). I'll place some big planter pots around as well, but I really hate these white walls and would love them to "disappear." happy to hear all opinions! thanks D Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Creeping Fig... good or bad idea? 2Jan 23, 2019 9:51 am Cant see an issue.
