Dischidia nummularia
string of nickels or the necklace plant
- Position: bright indirect light
- Soil: general-purpose potting compost
- Rate of growth: average
- Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
- Current trailing length: approximately 30cm (including pot)
- Pot: supplied in a hanging pot
An easy to grow and very decorative house plant, with its near-circular fleshy green leaves, which form along the length of the trailing stems - occasionally accompanied by tiny white flowers. - Home care: Water regularly during the warmer months, making sure that all the excess water can drain away freely. Try to maintain even temperatures, so avoid planting next to a radiator or in a draughty spot. Keep drier in winter, only watering when the compost gets quite dry.
Please note: all our indoor hanging pots include drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. We recommend taking them down to water in the sink or on a saucer, and leaving them to drain before rehanging.
