Tickey Creeper is a vigorous, fast-growing, self-clinging climber that transforms walls, fences, and structures with its small heart-shaped leaves that resemble ivy, creating lush green coverage through adhesive aerial rootlets. This versatile plant works beautifully as groundcover, indoor houseplant, or in hanging baskets, making it perfect for both vertical and horizontal landscaping solutions. The dense foliage provides excellent screening and privacy while requiring minimal maintenance once established. Plant 1-2m apart for screening or use as specimen plants against walls and structures. Feed annually in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer and enrich soil with quality compost for optimal growth. Apply pine mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
