Dischidia Million Hearts Plant Features

Dischidia Ruscifolia, aka Million Hearts, gets its name from the way its vining stems are laden with pairs of green, heart-shaped leaves. It has a delicate cascading habit, and can grow upwards of 3 feet long! Closely related to the Hoya genus, Dischidia has similarly firm, semi-succulent foliage. Growing as an epiphyte in the forests of its native habitat in the Philippines, this plant also makes a great candidate for mounting as it requires little root space to thrive.

Dischidia Million Hearts Growing Instructions

Dischidia Ruscifolia, aka Million Hearts should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

They will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Dischidia Oiantha Variegata need to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

They like a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.
