Ficus pumila is a popular houseplant because it is easy to care for and it can tolerate a wide range of conditions. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight, but it can also tolerate low light. It should be watered regularly, but it should not be allowed to sit in water. Ficus pumila is not cold-hardy, so it should be brought indoors during the winter.
