Description

The Oak Leaf Creeping Fig is a charming miniature vine, prized for its tiny oak-shaped leaves that create a delicate and natural look in terrariums and vivariums. With its creeping and climbing habit, it works beautifully as a groundcover or trained to scale backgrounds, cork, or wood, where it forms a dense, leafy carpet.

Native to Asia, this variety thrives in warm, humid environments with bright but indirect light. It prefers consistently moist soil but will tolerate short dry spells, making it a hardy and forgiving plant for both beginners and experienced terrarium keepers.

The distinctive leaf shape sets it apart from other creeping figs, offering a more naturalistic, woodland-inspired appearance that enhances the realism of bioactive setups.

Perfect for terrariums, paludariums, and naturalistic enclosures, the Oak Leaf Creeping Fig is a versatile and attractive choice for plant collectors and hobbyists alike.
