Dischidia ruscifolia "Million Hearts"

Dischidia ruscifolia, commonly known as Million Hearts, is a delicate trailing succulent native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand and Malaysia. This charming epiphytic plant naturally grows on tree branches in tropical rainforests, where it clings to bark and absorbs moisture from humid air.

Million Hearts is prized for its tiny, heart-shaped leaves that densely populate slender, cascading stems. The foliage displays soft green coloring and creates an elegant, romantic appearance perfect for hanging baskets, wall-mounted planters, or high shelves where its graceful vines can drape freely.

This low-maintenance plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers consistently moist (but not waterlogged) soil during the growing season. Its epiphytic nature means it appreciates good air circulation and benefits from occasional misting to replicate its native humid forest environment. During winter, reduce watering and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Dischidia ruscifolia is ideal for plant collectors seeking rare, statement-making varieties and for anyone looking to add delicate texture and movement to indoor plant displays. Mature plants occasionally produce small, inconspicuous flowers. This species is non-toxic, making it a safe choice for homes with curious pets and children.
