The foliage is forest green and white with small, oval leaves that resemble tiny frog heads strung along the stems, which is how the plant earned its common name. 'Quercifolia' grows as a trailing vine with a naturally compact habit, staying relatively small even at maturity. The leaves grow densely along the stems, creating a full appearance when healthy.
'Quercifolia' produces tiny flowers along the stems, though they are inconspicuous and rarely the main feature indoors. The plant naturally humidifies the air as it grows, making it a companion for other humidity-loving plants in shared spaces like terrariums and bathroom shelves.
Move 'Quercifolia' near kitchen windows or bathrooms where moisture lingers; it grows well in bright indirect light and under office LED lighting, though it scorches in direct south windows. You can leave it up to ten days without water. The plant is sensitive to cold drafts from air conditioning and heating vents, so avoid placing it directly in the path of climate control. Cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, as the sap causes skin and paw irritation and the leaves are dangerous if ingested. Keep it on a high shelf or in a hanging basket out of reach of small children. A mature specimen or starter plant adapts well to hanging hooks and terrarium living.
Ficus 'String of Frogs' grows well in bright indirect light and under office LED lighting, but scorches in direct south windows.
Water it every 10-14 days when the top inch of soil feels dry; reduce frequency in winter months.
'Quercifolia' does best in well-draining potting soil mixed with perlite or orchid bark to prevent moisture retention.
It prefers temperatures between 65-75°F and is sensitive to cold drafts from air conditioning and heating units.
It is hardy in USDA zones 10-11 and does not tolerate frost below 50°F. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, California, and southern Texas where freezing temperatures do not occur.
Q: How often should I water Ficus 'String of Frogs'?
A: Check the soil every 10-14 days; water only when the top inch feels dry. The plant wilts slightly when the soil is dry and recovers quickly after watering.
Q: Can it survive in low-light conditions like an office?
A: Ficus 'String of Frogs' grows well under office LED lighting and bright indirect light, making it adaptable to indoor workspaces.
Q: Is 'Quercifolia' safe for cats and dogs?
A: No, cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant because the sap causes skin and paw irritation, and ingestion is dangerous.
Q: How do I propagate it?
A: 'Quercifolia' propagates easily from 2-3 inch stem cuttings placed in moist soil or water until roots develop in 2-3 weeks.
Q: Does String Of Frogs need high humidity?
A: It grows well near kitchen moisture, bathroom steam, or placement next to a humidifier.
Q: Why are the leaves turning yellow on my plant?
A: String Of Frogs develops yellow leaves from overwatering or soil staying wet too long; allow the soil to dry more between waterings and use a pot with drainage holes.

🌿 For Houseplants
When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
*** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
