Common beech (Fagus sylvatica) is one of the most majestic of European native trees, yet also makes an excellent formal hedge as it tolerates regular clipping. Although deciduous, beech is still good to use as a screening hedge as growth is dense, twiggy, and the dead leaves usually remain on the branches for much of the winter, often until the new leaves appear in spring. There are both green and purple-leaved varieties of common beech which are suitable for hedging. The purple-leaved form (Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’ is commonly known as copper beech.

Dischidia Nummularia, also known as the string of nickels, is a beautiful trailing plant that is easy to care for and propagate. In this guide, we will cover all the essential steps you need to know to grow and maintain it.
Botanical Name: Dischidia nummularia
Common Name: String of nickels, Button orchid
Dischidia Nummularia is a succulent that earned its name because of its unique appearance. Its small, round leaves resemble tiny coins that dangle on a cord. Native to tropical regions in India, Australia, and Asia, this epiphyte can grow on tree trunks, branches, and rocky terrains in its natural habitat.
The leaves of the plant come in varying shades of pale green, silvery, or bronze. It thrives in a humid and warm environment with plenty of hardscapes for climbing.
These vining succulents are easy to grow and care for, making them a great choice for an attractive houseplant that can be grown in a hanging basket.
Propagating this Dischidia is easy peasy. All you need is a healthy stem cutting. Let it callous for a day, and then place in moist sphagnum moss. Keep near a bright window and give it a good mist when the moss appears dry.
