Light

When grown indoors, String of Frogs will do best in bright, indirect light. You can place your pot near a window with plenty of morning sunlight but not the scorching afternoon sun. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, killing their charm. You can also use some artificial light in case you don’t have access to bright, indirect light. 

Soil

Ficus Pumila quercifolia needs well-drained soil to thrive well. A potting mix having equal parts of potting soil, coco peat, sand, and perlite or coarse grit is an excellent medium for this plant, providing the right blend of moisture retention and nutrients. Alternatively, a cactus or succulent soil mix will also boost plant growth.
