Delicate, unusual and quietly striking, Dischidia nummularia — also known as the String of Nickels — is a trailing plant that brings a gentle sense of movement and softness to your home. With its round, coin-like leaves cascading on slender stems, this is a plant that’s easy to care for but full of character.
Size
Trailing length approx. W14–H40cm on arrival, with plenty of growth potential in the right conditions.
Native Habitat
Native to tropical forests across Southeast Asia and northern Australia, Dischidia nummularia is an epiphyte — meaning it grows naturally on trees, clinging to bark and soaking up dappled light and moisture from the air. It’s used to high humidity and indirect light, making it a perfect houseplant if you’re after something a bit different but still unfussy.
Styling at Home
This plant really shines in a hanging pot or mounted on a shelf where it can gently spill over the edge. Its rounded leaves bring a soft, graphic quality that works well against clean, modern interiors or in lush, jungle-like displays. It’s also an excellent choice for terrariums or as a trailing feature in a mixed plant collection.
Care Requirements
Dischidia nummularia is fairly low maintenance:
-
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings. As an epiphyte, it doesn’t like to stay soggy.
-
Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity but adapts well to most home environments.
-
Feeding: Feed monthly during spring and summer with our Organic Tropical Plant Food, specially formulated to support healthy growth.
Why Choose This Plant
If you're looking to add a trailing plant that’s a little off the beaten path, the String of Nickels is a wonderful choice. Easy-going yet visually striking, it’s ideal for those who love the unusual — or want to bring a bit of the forest canopy indoors.
