Ficus thunbergii is also known as the Oak Leaf Fig, Creeping Fig, or String of Frogs. It is a small, evergreen tree or shrub that is native to Japan, Korea, and China.

It has small, oval leaves that are about 1/2 inch long. The leaves are dark green on top and pale green on the bottom. The plant can grow up to 10 feet tall in its native habitat, but it is usually much smaller when grown as a houseplant.

Ficus thunbergii is a popular houseplant because it is easy to care for and it is very tolerant of a wide range of conditions. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade, and it can tolerate a wide range of temperatures.

The plant does best in moist, well-drained soil. It should be watered regularly, but it should not be allowed to sit in water. The plant should be fertilized once a month during the spring and summer.

Ficus thunbergii is a relatively pest- and disease-free plant. However, it can be susceptible to scale insects and mealybugs. If you see any pests on your plant, you can treat them with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Ficus thunbergii is a beautiful and easy-care plant that can add a touch of elegance to any home. If you are looking for a new houseplant, I would definitely recommend Ficus thunbergii.
