🍃 What Makes String of Nickels Special?

The plant gets its common name from its round, coin-like leaves arranged along trailing stems. Its naturally cascading growth makes it particularly attractive when placed in a hanging pot or positioned where the stems can fall freely over the edge.

Unlike many conventional houseplants, Dischidia nummularia is an epiphyte. In nature, it grows attached to trees and other surfaces rather than growing as a conventional ground-rooted plant.

🏡 Perfect for Home Décor

Use your String of Nickels plant to decorate:

• 🪴 Hanging pots
• 🏠 Living rooms
• 🪟 Bright windows
• 🌿 Indoor plant corners
• 🌤️ Covered balconies
• 🌱 Terraces
• 📚 Shelves and plant stands
• 🌳 Shaded outdoor spaces

Its trailing stems look especially attractive when allowed to naturally cascade downward.

☀️ Light Requirements

String of Nickels prefers bright, indirect or filtered light. A location with gentle morning sunlight and protection from harsh midday sunlight can work well.

Too little light may result in stretched growth and larger gaps between leaves, while intense direct sunlight can stress or scorch the foliage.

💧 Watering

Avoid keeping this plant constantly wet.

Water when the growing medium has started to dry, then allow excess water to drain away completely. Because Dischidia nummularia is an epiphytic plant, it benefits from an airy, fast-draining growing medium rather than heavy soil that stays wet for long periods.

Important: Overwatering and poor drainage can lead to root problems.

🌱 Soil & Potting Mix

A light, airy and well-draining growing medium is recommended. Epiphytic plants such as String of Nickels generally do better in an open mix that allows good airflow around the roots. Orchid-style mixes or mixes containing materials such as bark, coco husk and other drainage components can be suitable.

Avoid heavy garden soil that remains wet for extended periods.

💚 Humidity & Airflow

String of Nickels naturally grows in tropical environments and appreciates good humidity. At the same time, good airflow is important, particularly when growing it indoors or in humid conditions.

A bright, warm location with gentle air circulation can help maintain a healthy growing environment.

🌿 Trailing Growth

One of the main attractions of this plant is its cascading growth habit.

As new stems develop, they can be trained over the edge of the pot or allowed to hang naturally. This makes the plant particularly suitable for hanging baskets and elevated plant stands.

✂️ Pruning

Light pruning can be used to:

• Control excessively long stems
• Maintain a fuller appearance
• Remove damaged growth
• Encourage a neat display
• Produce cuttings for propagation

Healthy stem cuttings can be used for propagation under suitable conditions.

🌸 Flowers

Under suitable growing conditions, String of Nickels may produce small flowers, although it is primarily grown for its attractive foliage and trailing form.

🪴 String of Nickels with Pot

This product comes with a pot, making it convenient for customers who want a ready-to-display plant.

📦 Live Plant Delivery Information

This is a live plant, so its size, foliage density and overall appearance may naturally vary depending on the season and growing conditions.
