Dischidia Nummularia

The String of Nickels (Dischidia nummularia) is a charming trailing vine with small, round, coin-shaped leaves in a soft gray-green color, making it easy to see how it got its name. It comes from the tropical regions of Asia and Australia, where it grows naturally on trees in warm, humid forests.

This plant is an epiphyte, which means it grows on trees in the wild rather than in soil. Its species name "nummularia" comes from the Latin word "nummulus," meaning "little coin," a perfect nod to its cute, round leaves.

This plant looks beautiful trailing from a hanging basket or cascading over a shelf, and it is a great pick for anyone who loves unique, low-fuss greenery in their home or office.
