Stem

Origin
The Ficus reflexa, also known as the Variegated Creeping Fig, is a fast-growing, slow-creeper originally from Southeast Asia and Australia. It's a popular evergreen houseplant that has spread throughout most subtropical and tropical parts of the world.
Characteristics
What makes the Ficus reflexa unique is its small, heart-shaped leaves, which are bright green in colour with a white, yellow, or light pink edge. The plant produces small, non-prominent flowers that are pollinated by specific wasps. Its stems are flexible, enabling the plant to be easily guided and shaped as desired.
Care
In terms of care, it's key to know that the Ficus reflexa has a high light requirement, but direct sunlight can be damaging. The plant likes high humidity and needs regular watering. It's recommended to keep the soil slightly moist, but too much water can cause root rot.
