Alva the Creeping fig plant is creeping really fast. she is 2 months away from being a year old.
I love Alvas vines hanging down, butt they hang right at Beaus Head Height over his
dog dishes and there is no where to move the bowls.
Sad to say Beau has Nibble at them a couple of times and I am afraid the shelf will fall on his head.
I tucked them up.

It's always scary when oetschew on houseplants. You ever know how toxic they are.
It’s a good look- reclining rather than hanging. A softer look.
I must say it’s getting very friendly with the green bottles aren’t they, here’s hoping it don’t have cat tendencies and knock them off the shelf😊
Take care

It sure is growing. I like the way it looks tucked up and wrapping around the other things on the shelf.
Hello,
The creeper is pretty, it looks fine tucked up and away from Beau's head.
Take care, enjoy your day!
Hi Sandra, :=) It's safer for Beau that way, and it still looks great tucked up,...done it myself when trailers get to long,

Yes, I think it looks rather pretty this way! YAM xx
(who is finding the networking a bit speedier again today - though it can sometimes take minutes rather than seconds to open a site... something to do with the HTTPS assignment apparently.)
Alva looks like an expensive piece if art.
Your solution to tuck up Alva's vines was a good one, Sandra, and it actually looks nicer too.
Your beautiful sun filled kitchen/family room is the perfect for plants.
I lave the shelf in your last photo. Per chance a Walmart purchase?

Alva is looking beautiful, I really like her display shelf too!!
You "tucked" them very artfully. It will be fun to see where they go from there.
Hope your weekend goes well.
I'm off in a few hours to do my regular Friday stuff..Its a very nice warm day today..Yay..

Here's a tip for plants that grow long vines like this. You can pinch or cut the vines off, and then that will make them sprout more and be more bushy. Now to the questions. WHY the name Alva? I guess it never will get any figs? Adorable shelf, you should feature it on a post!! Where did you get it, of course I want it. I bet you have a lot of things that we would love to see, but you are so used to them that you don't think of it.
So is it time to put a little pot under a piece of the growing Alva and see if it puts out some roots in the little pot. More shelves, more pots, on and on around the kitchen......
It's a really nice spot for Alva. Tucking them around really works. Beau is grateful I'm sure ;) I like the way you have arranged those framed photos too. It's a pretty spot.
What pretty little lady Miss Alva's becoming!
The way you've arranged her vines looks like something out of Home Beautiful ... are you sure you didn't major in interior design?
Those plants look very pretty. Thanks for your comments on my blog. Much appreciated .
That's one happy plant!
It's beautiful.
