Dischidia ruscifolia aka Million Hearts

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Million Hearts is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Million Hearts’s native range is India and China.

Million Hearts should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

When growing the Million Hearts, it's important to use a potting soil that is well-draining and does not retain excessive moisture. An optimal soil mix should contain a high proportion of perlite or vermiculite for good drainage and some organic matter for nourishment. Simply add a few scoops of perlite to regular cactus soil to achieve this.

To ensure optimal growth, the Million Hearts prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

The Million Hearts does not need extra humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their root system, making soil watering the best way to provide humidity to your plants.

The Million Hearts grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.
