How to fertilize Dischidia Nummularia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dischidia Nummularia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Get it in good health? I just picked this Dischidia Apple up. I haven't owned a plant in a good few years. What's the first thing I should do? Repot? Clean its leaves? It was in the throwaway bin, but it spoke to me when I walked by.

Help with #Jade This jade is a couple years old. I moved it from a SE windowsill to a north facing windowsill about a month ago because it was getting burnt. It looked great a few days after the move but now its getting these brown spots on the leaves. Last watered this AM and last fertilized a week or so ago. Hasn't been reported in St least a year. What can I do to get it back to full health and make sure it doesn't get more brown spots? #HappyPlants #SucculentSquad #Indoorplants

I have had this plant cutting for over a year and it really only ever rooted. In the last few months I moved it near a humidifier and it started to grow, as in produce new foliage. Then, today I noticed the tiniest flowers! They are so tiny yet so fragrant! #MillionHearts #DischidiaRuscifolia #TinyLeafPlants #TinyFlowers #itrunsinthefamily #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PLANTMAFIA

How to revive this dischidia watermelon I've been struggling with this baby since I adopted her about a month ago, lost nearly all leaves many had turned yellow. I've increased lighting and tried stabilizing watering and fertilizing. I can't find yellow leaves and it seems to be doing better with a grow light but I can still see these dried and brown stems. Anything else I can do? #WatermelonDischidia

Experiences with butterfly propagation method vs other methods? I am looking for tips on propagating some cuttings of plants with pretty small leaves. Due to all the various holiday sales, I found some incredibly priced cuttings of variegated string of hearts, and added on a string of frogs, million hearts, string of nickels, and ficus pumila minimus variegated, and dischidia Geri cuttings. I know these aren’t all the same types of plants. Some have those paired leaves on the vines (“string of” plants), others don’t (pumila, millions hearts, and dischidia). I am looking for maximum growth over the next 3 months propagating them. Not merely length, but to create fullness in a plant, as I am trying to grow them, and plant them in small pots for my sister for her birthday at the end of Feb. #shesmysoilsistertoo Would you be willing to tell me what you know and any tips/tricks you learned to help this project be successful? #StringOfHearts #stringoffrogs #stringofnickels #millionhearts #ficuspumilaminimus #dischidiageri #PropagationStation
