Everytime someone has given me a piece of creeping fig it has all been double bagged and put into the trash. I've seen it deform fiberglass panels on a greenhouse.

Wait until you have to break that tank down and have to use a razor blade to get the little holdfasts off the glass.... you'll have even more reasons to understand why it easily can be a bad plant....

i think scraping hold fasts has scared Ed.
Try doing it to a large three foot by four foot by four foot display case and have to avoid scratches for the public viewing.... It took way too much effort... It is a plant I will never put in a tank.

The below tank is 2-3 years old...every time I get close to breaking it down, I end up keeping it. Nothing but ficus and philodendron.

I find it interesting how much people hate Ficus pumila, but everyone LOVES the Ficus sp. "Panama"--in my experience they both have the same aggressive growth behaviors.
I'll be clear I don't like any of the creeping figs... Just so there isn't any mistake on my thoughts on the stuff.. I wouldn't even keep it as a house plant in my room.. Devil's Snare - Harry Potter Wiki However that terrarium always looks good Ron.
