The chain of coins from Asia
An epiphyte of Southeast Asian forests, Dischidia Nummularia grows clinging to trunks, trailing long strands adorned with rounded, water-filled leaves.
Semi-succulent, it stores moisture in its leaves and needs only a very free-draining medium or a simple fiber board, ideal for hanging.
"The Dischidia unrolls its green coins without ever demanding a thing."
