Ficus Pumila Quercifolia Rooted Cutting Liner

Ficus Pumila Quercifolia (also known as String of Frogs, Oakleaf Creeping Fig, and Miniature Oakleaf Fig) is native to eastern China, southern Japan, and Vietnam. It is most commonly grown as a houseplant in containers or terrariums, or outdoors in containers or hanging baskets. It can also be used as groundcover, and its slow-growing, petite foliage is much less likely to become invasive than the larger variety, Ficus Pumila Creeping Fig. Quercifolia's evergreen foliage grows about 12 inches high and spreads 24-36 inches. With consistent water, Creeping Fig will flourish in sun to part shade and it isn't susceptible to any significant pests or disease.
