I ordered most of my plants prematurely and ended up having them sit off to the side while I built my vivarium. By the time I got to planting, this little guy looked like a lost cause with only two small sprigs still clinging to life. Once planted, it began to thrive very quickly, Then, like the explorers of old, it set out to conquer the vivarium. Transplanting it consisted of just dropping the trimmings where I wanted more ground cover. It has spread across the substrate and up the background. It is now a lush, lime-green carpet that sets off my Azureus' blue color like a beacon. This little bugger looks so delicate, but it stands up to my novice care and constant frog stomping. After four months in the vivarium, it has done nothing but amaze me.

I was thinking these would have leaves about 1cm, but they’re closer to half that size! I’m so glad I went with this cultivar instead of the regular-size oak leaf creeping fig.

Love this plant so much I bought 2. The first time it arrived it came in pretty bad condition due to being a 4-5 day shipping along with other plants from this site. But I didn't give up and planted all of the plants, the pothos came back to life the fern also and these took a while and I may have killed many of them but didn't touch it anymore and with time it came out wonderful. It's still alive and growing :) I'm very happy and will buy from this place soon! And remember do give up and do some research. A couple of minutes can save you lots of pain "headaches" .
