Ficus repens?

Hi all!

Today I bought a little ivy-looking thing that caught my eye.  I've never 
seen anything like it, and couldn't find it in any of my books.  The woman 
at the garden shop told me it was called a ficus repens, although she 
didn't look so sure.  It looks like a tiny ivy with variegated leaves less 
than a centimeter wide.  Its leaves are green in the center, and 
cream-colored around the edges.  It looks like it wants to climb or be 
trained.

In one of my books I found a ficus called 'creeping fig' that it sort of 
looks like, only with aforementioned two-tone leaves.  This book mentions 
that it needs lots and lots of humidity and medium to bright light and a 
warm location.

Anyone have a clue about:
Light?
Water?
Feeding?
Propagation?  (I owe a few people clippings and this plant is gorgeous)
Temperature?
Humidity?

Most appreciative of anyone who can help me keep this little beauty alive.
