Ficus pumila 'Quercifolia' - String of Frogs

Ficus pumila ‘Quercifolia’ is often called Miniature Oakleaf Fig for the petite, lobed foliage that closely resembles the leaves of an oak tree. The little leaves also look like squatting frogs, giving it another common name: String of Frogs. This precious creeper is perfect for a humid and bright environment, and makes a spectacular terrarium plant. It has a spreading habit, with fast-growing vines climbing or cascading in all directions. The aerial roots secrete an organic glue that hardens upon drying, allowing the vines to adhere to their support. As with other Ficus, this plant thrives in warm, stable temperatures with good air circulation.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Place in bright, indirect light
• Water: Keep evenly moist. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Never let dry out completely.
• Considerations: Keep in a warm, humid environment for best growth
