Silver Dollar Vine - 2''
The Silver Dollar Vine, housed in a 2-inch pot, is a rare and eye-catching succulent known for its thick, round, coin-like leaves that resemble silver dollars. Native to arid regions, this plant is extremely hardy and tolerant of neglect, making it an excellent choice for busy plant owners or those new to succulent care. The plant’s trailing stems can grow long over time, making it an ideal choice for hanging baskets or as a statement piece in a bright window.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and can even tolerate direct sunlight for part of the day. It prefers well-draining soil and minimal watering, especially during the colder months when it enters dormancy. Be sure to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Despite its slow-growing nature, the Silver Dollar Vine will reward patient gardeners with a unique and striking aesthetic.
The Silver Dollar Vine is perfect for both indoor and outdoor gardens, and its unusual appearance adds interest to succulent collections of all sizes. Its low-maintenance care requirements and distinctive look make it a must-have for plant enthusiasts who appreciate unique, resilient species.
