Ficus 'String of Frogs'

Ficus 'String of Frogs' 🐸 is an oakleaf creeping fig: tiny lobed leaves that look like little frog feet, packed onto dense, trailing stems. It's great in a hanging basket, spilling off a shelf, or in a terrarium. Give it bright indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist; this one doesn't like drying out all the way. Pro tip: crispy leaves usually mean it got too dry, so check the soil a little more often 💧. When it arrives, give it 2-4 weeks to settle in before you repot.

Sold in a 4" pot
