Dischidia nummularia 'Dragon Jade' – Trailing Epiphyte with Shingling Foliage
Dischidia nummularia 'Dragon Jade' is a charming epiphytic vine native to Southeast Asia, often found cascading from tree trunks in humid forests. This cultivar is celebrated for its coin-shaped, succulent-like leaves that create a beautiful, overlapping 'shingle' effect as they climb or trail. Highly prized for its low-maintenance elegance, this species is a natural choice for kokedama, terrariums, or vertical arrangements.
Trailing habit: Flexible stems produce a gentle cascade when grown in hanging pots or mounted settings.
Epiphytic nature: Grows without soil in its native environment, clinging to bark and other surfaces with aerial roots.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some early morning or late afternoon sun but avoid harsh midday rays.
Water: Let the medium dry out slightly between waterings; avoid overwatering as roots are prone to rot.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments above 60%; misting or pebble trays can be beneficial indoors.
Media: Use a well-draining orchid or sphagnum moss-based mix; bark chips or coco husk also work well.
Temperature: Ideal range is 18–28°C; protect from cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C.
Fertiliser: Apply a diluted balanced fertiliser monthly during the growing season (spring through summer).
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when roots outgrow the current container, especially if mounted or in moss balls.
Additional Notes
Can be grown in terrariums or mounted on bark for a more naturalistic presentation.
Not considered toxic to pets, though ingestion is still discouraged.
Rarely flowers in cultivation, but when it does, the blooms are small and creamy white to pale yellow.
A great choice for vertical gardens due to its clinging nature and modest space requirements.
Dischidia nummularia 'Dragon Jade' offers both ornamental charm and botanical intrigue. Its adaptable, space-saving growth makes it particularly attractive for indoor plant lovers who appreciate texture and subtlety in their green displays.
