String of Nickels

String of Nickels is a delightful epiphytic succulent from the tropics, prized for its long, pendulous stems adorned with small, round, flattened, grey-green leaves that resemble stacks of coins. This charming habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or terrariums, where its unique foliage can create an attractive display. While tiny, inconspicuous white flowers may appear, the plant is primarily grown for its foliage. In the UK, it thrives as an indoor plant in a bright location with indirect light and appreciates higher humidity. It should be grown in a well-drained, airy substrate, such as an orchid mix, and watered when the top layer feels dry. Protect from cool temperatures.
