Xerosicyos danguyi Houseplant Care - 174 of 365
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Commonly known as silver dollar vine or silver dollar plant, Xerosicyos danguyi has become a relatively common houseplant, though I haven't seen many that had been grown from seeds and that have developed the iconic caudex. Whatever the case, this plant moves into the #174 spot of "365 Days of Plants".

It's taken me a full year to find this plant but I love it so much! I actually noticed the yellowish leaves as well and after a dose of fish emulsion my silver dollar vine returned to that gorgeous sagey blue green. I keep mine in an east facing window and it is happy as can be!
I didn't know they needed something to vine on or else they dry back, thanks for the video Summer.
Does that mean they won’t trail well?
Wow, I didn't know they naturally have a caudex. Id love to know more about the "twining & vining" succulents you're taking about 💚
Deanna Floyd yes
I have this plant. A friend had it. He gave it to me and I'm happy I have it. It's a full planted vine. However, its not a vine, at this point but, an afro. It loves indirect light. It does not like the direct Sun. I'm going to play with my new plant. Thank you.
"I like to be matchy matchy with my plants and my pots"
😂😂😂😂😂
So far I haven't had any pest issues. A new shoot popped at the end of summer and it grew to 5 feet within 6 weeks in bright indirect light. I used organic orchid fertiliser (it was al I had that I knew was gentle enough). It's getting much cooler and darker for longer now in Scotland and the growth has slowed down. The other mature branches are not doing much so I guess I'll have to figure out a way to promote branching to get a fuller plant.
I watch you Summer because of your great pronunciation of the plant names. I am growing this in North Scottsdale AZ outdoors in about 2 hours of direct sun light and it is growing wild. I flood water twice a week in the summer heat for a full dry out and it seems to be loving it.
This is my favourite plant. It took me a long time to get one and I was ecstatic when I finally managed to get a hold of one. My plant is thriving. I like to know though how to get the leaves plump and round. I have mine in direct sunlight and water once a week. Using succulent soil.
I absolutely love those plants, but don't have one because I really haven't found enough of the "home growers" information out there. Thank you so much for doing a "care" video on them. I'm gonna take the plunge now and get one. I'd like to try and locate a seed grown silver dollar if I could. Thanks for posting!
"I'm avoiding the big plants" DELAYING THE INEVITABLE SUMMER RAYNE lol!!
I remembered asking this Care during plant swap when I got one, this is an awesome plant, slow grower for me; but I love it! 🌿🍃
Today is my birthday...i was so happy and surprised that my fiance bought me your book!! She knows that I watch your posts almost daily....thank you for all the knowledge you give plant lovers like me #plantgeeklife
Oh wow so lucky!! 😍😍
I have this plant sitting under the sun for about half a day. It seems very happy. I am in Santa Monica ca
My friend just mailed me one. Informative video. Can’t wait to see mine grow!
love them
Mine i just hang it on my growing avocado tree outdoor. Its doing good. Taking shade and food from avocado. I use to water it when it was small. Now, its doing well in its own. Philippines its always raining when dry season starts/summer, i water it.
I keep my silver dollars nice and green with a supplemental spoonful of worm castings bimonthly. It definitely appreciates a gentle slow release nitrogen boost!
Peter Cardona worm casting on the top of the soil?? Mine is a bit yellow.
@@sandritadew5563 if you have ruled out the other more likey culprits of yellow leaves like intense direct sun: Bimonthly sprinkle with a spoonful of worm castings and just work it into the top layer of soil.
Thanks for this info, it helped me figure out some potential improvements for mine! :)
I grow mine in a hanging basket an it has gone crazy an yes mine did the same thing with the yellowing of the leaves an I did have it in any sun but once I upped the feed she turned shiver green
I keep learning new things about the plants I have and the ones I'm searching for. I didn't know that it was a caudex plant and that the only way you have a caudex plant is if you grow it from seed, if you get a cutting it will not have a caudex, so interesting. I would love to find one of these, the only ones I have seen are from cuttings. Thank you again Summer great video and I will see you again tomorrow.
I have two and I'm growing one in regular cacti soil and another in LECA. The one in LECA has really thrived and produced new leaves for me while the one in soil hasn't done anything for me within the 8 months I've had them.
I think being matchy matchy actually makes the plant stand out more!
Do you recommend water or soil propagation? I have a cutting and I am terrified of killing it!
I just got 2 cuttings as gifts and I water propagated both with success, I realize your comment is a year old but maybe someone else has the same question
@@Crystal-be9ze what if all I got were leaves? Will that grow a new plant?
@@jerrywood2124 as long as there is a node somewhere on the stem it will grow, one of mine only had a tiny stem with one leaf but there was a node on the stem
@@Crystal-be9ze okay here’s hoping!! Thank you!
I bought mine as three little 2inch pot babies in very sandy substrate. I left them in the nursery pots for months coz I liked them too much to risk repotting. Once they grew to just under a foot, I merged them into the current pot with no new soil (again, was too worried haha) .
A year and a half later, they are finally long enough that I want to give them a proper pot and trellis to cling on to. They're about 3ft long, I keep them outdoors in the porch, they get filtered tropical sun. The new growth is not as round or thick and I'm guessing that's due to lack of nutrients so I'll be giving them some now.
I've also recently bought a new 3in pot that was pretty yellow in the nursery itself but I couldn't help myself coz this was only the second time I've seen it being sold so I grabbed it. Thanks for the info on yellowing and sun vs nitrogen! I shall try fixing those, it definitely seems to be possible in my case
How do you propagate this? I have two little stems that almost died on me. I’m trying to salvage it. Help!
YES my favorite plant!
I just found one locally, 6 inch pot for $40, not sure if thats a good deal or not.
@@rootedinplants I found a 6-inch pot for 15.99 at lowes
@@anhourwithnature7134 that's amazing!! I wish all HD & lowes shops carried the same plants.
That larger pot is so beautiful. I wish they sold it online. Do you know if it’s made by Chelsea Garden Center or another source. The color is lovely.
Mine is light green and leaves are flat! I had it directly inn the window with a lot of direct light. I have another one in a window that have a medium light and that one is perfect. I just merged the two together in one pot and placing them in the window with less intense light. I hope for the best.
Had one for two years in bright indirect light. Wouldn't grow. Wouldn't die. Repotted and put in full sun. It is growing like crazy.
How to propagate? I have cuttings I am currently trying to water propogate
I just got a cutting last week 🙌🙌🙌 so far so good... !
Amanda Wong Do you water or soil propagate this? I’m new to this plant and also got a cutting. Thx!
Hi there I have just purchased one of these from our local plant land in Pretoria. I must say it was extremely expensive. Is this a sort of Hoya? I have no idea, I just fell in London be with her.
Do you have any Pachypodiums? They are my favorite!
I have bought this plant twice and both times the plant started to pucker, the vines turned yellow and dry, and the leaves started falling off. I only watered it once a week or if soil was dry. I unfortunately do not get enough light in my apartment so I am thinking that was the issue? I love this plant so much, but haven't been able to keep it alive
She said needs lightttt.
@@xyz-pg3zd Mine doesn't get much light in the winter months and doesn't pucker. Leaves turning yellow and falling off sounds like overwatering, unless Lizeth lives in a very hot climate.
Any info about water propagating cuttings?
I have mine in an east facing window. I also use worm castings. Biggest issue is watering. Sometime I need to water more
Love This Plant And Love The Fact That It Is a Vine. I Have One That's About The Size Of Your Small One That I Grew From 2 Cuttings. I KEEP Looking At The Ones Being Sold On An Etsy Shop Called Pride And Joy Plants. I Believe They're Based In New York, Summer. They Are Being Sold In White Hanging Pots SO I Will Probably Wind Up Buying One...OR Two!!!
Hello Summer, I've basically repotted my plant last winter, when I do re-potting, I usually change the soil as well, so this guy didn't really root for the last 6-7 months, was wondering what kind of soil they like? My plants usually sit in 80% inorganic material, mostly lava rock, zeolite, pumice, some basalt and akadama. Yeah any care tips are welcome, thank you in advance.
Where do I cut to make more ? Can I stick cuttings right in the dirt
I think one of my xerosicyos danyguyi vines is a sport. The leaves are not round but ovalish and more pointed at the tip
E. G. I got a plant that has leaves like that and round ones
@@michellelau4253 Interesting. Yeah, the shape is more of an egg shape.
Are there different kinds?
@@xyz-pg3zd I don't think so, but not sure. Maybe thats just a common natural variation in the plant.
it looks like you need to add some top dressing to that, more soil on top i have 2 likes this and i thought it was a hope plant, it looks so much like a pepperomia, i just got them and i sure dont want to kill them, i was told when i hope them they were hoyas
I was wondering if, since Madagacar has a subtropical climate, this plants care might be somewhat comparable to Hoya. In the sense that they do not like wet feet, but also do not like to be too hot and in burning sunlight. Beautiful plant, not very common in the Netherlands.
WOW! Is there another plant in the small pot? something with red specks?
Love the plant and I can tell you do too👍
I bought a cutting of this plant earlier this year and it is almost the size of your bigger plant, however I noticed that the silver dollars are thinner than the ones the plant came with. I am growing it in an east facing window. Should I increase the fertilizer? I checked, it is not root bound.
it gets really thirsty in the summer, I watered it quite often during summer.
Can I root a cutting by just putting it in water until i see roots then plant?
I've done it with success twice:)
Any advice on leaf thickness? My new growth leaves are so thin! They don't seem to be thickening up at all.
Mine grows so slow though, am I doing anything wrong? 🤔
I think this type of plant is a slow grower.
I’ve had mine for 4+ years, slow grower for sure!
Mine does not have any new growth would you recommend to use fertiliser anyways? If so would a controlled relajase fetiliser work? Thanks
Will you do a video showing how you water plants.
Do u have the Arabian wax vine plant.. i love its leaves with visible veining..easy to propagate too..
What if its leaves start falling off?? They are not watered often until its soil dry.
How do you propagate?
I’ve been waiting for one that isn’t a cutting or seeds I need to start. This one is definitely on the list!!!! Green with succulent, cauduciform jealousy!!! 💚💚💚🤗
I'm interested in propagating mine with a cutting as my current one might be slowly dying (from overwatering). Once I cut it and allow the end to dry and stick it in soil, should I water it regularly? Or water it, allow to dry completely, and repeat?
I recommend sticking it in soil and just spraying it with water very couple days. After a week or 2 start watering it a little to prevent it from drying out, but just don’t over water! ;)
@@michellelau4253 Thanks so much! :)
I just got a cutting and its starting to wrinkle. What can I do?
IAM growing one it turns yellow so I am looking to see different ones on information
🌿👍🌿💚
good ji
I had one but my husband overwatered it 😢😭
Its too bad she doesnt reply and answer questions. I just got one bare root. The comments were a little helpful though.
For some reason it’s growing tall but it stopped growing leaves on the bottom. What can I do?
Those plants look not very healthy
