The Ficus pumila 'Quercifolia' (String of Frogs) prefers consistently moist soil, so it should be watered regularly. Here's a general watering schedule:

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This typically means watering every 5-7 days in the warmer months and every 10-14 days during cooler months, depending on the humidity and temperature of your home.

Water thoroughly until excess water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the saucer to prevent the roots from sitting in water, which can lead to root rot.

This plant enjoys higher humidity, so you might want to mist it occasionally or use a humidity tray to keep it happy.

Available in the following packaging based on your preference:

• Nursery Pot - Standard plastic 2" planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it. Every 2-inch pot will come with at least one tuber-rooted growth.
