Dollar vine

Dollar vine (Dischidia nummularia) is a unique and attractive trailing plant native to Southeast Asia and Australia. It belongs to the milkweed family, Apocynaceae, and is often grown as an ornamental houseplant due to its compact, round, coin-shaped leaves that resemble small dollar coins—hence the name. The leaves grow along slender, wiry stems that creep or hang, making it ideal for hanging baskets or as a cascading accent in terrariums. Dollar vine thrives in warm, humid environments and prefers bright, indirect light, mimicking the tropical forest canopies where it naturally grows. It is epiphytic, meaning it often grows on other plants or surfaces rather than in soil. This plant is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering once established, making it popular among indoor plant enthusiasts. With its charming appearance and hardy nature, the Dollar vine adds a touch of greenery and elegance to any indoor space.
