Rubber Plant

Narrow-Leaf Fig
Ficus longifolia
Ficus longifolia, widely sold in the houseplant trade as the narrow-leaf fig (also known as Ficus Alii), is a tropical evergreen fig in the Moraceae family. Native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia, it is grown almost exclusively as an ornamental indoor tree, prized for its slender, glossy, lance-shaped leaves that give it a graceful, weeping silhouette distinct from broader-leaved ficus relatives. Like other figs, it produces its tiny flowers hidden inside an enclosed syconium (fig), so showy blooms are not part of its appeal - the foliage is the star. Indoors it can be trained into a small tree or braided-trunk form, reaching up to about 3 m (10 ft) in a container over many years.
Creeping Fig
Ficus pumila

Known for its ability to cling to walls and surfaces with aerial rootlets, this versatile plant produces small, heart-shaped leaves that create a lush green carpet. Indoors it makes an elegant trailing or climbing houseplant, while outdoors it serves as an excellent ground cover or wall climber in temperate and tropical climates.
Fern Tree

Ivy is frequently used in hanging baskets, as a trailing accent in containers, or trained on trellises and topiary frames. Important warning: all parts of Hedera are toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested, containing triterpenoid saponins that cause gastrointestinal distress, skin irritation, and in severe cases respiratory difficulty.
North African Ivy
Hedera algeriensis
North African Ivy (Hedera algeriensis), also sold as Algerian Ivy, is a vigorous evergreen climber native to the coastal mountains of North Africa and the Canary Islands. Its large, glossy, leathery leaves and fast, self-clinging growth make it a striking backdrop for walls, trellises, and hanging baskets, or a lush trailing groundcover outdoors. A close relative of English ivy, it tolerates a wide range of light levels and rewards minimal care with dense, tropical-looking foliage year-round.
