Which 'Ant Plant' Is This?

7 years ago

Can anyone identify this variety of ant plant? I use to have many Hydnophytum Formicariums, but lost them all to rot. I got this one from someplace online and lst its tag. I thought it was a 'Formicarium' but it isnt. Can anyone tell from this picture which variety it is. And its care needs? Does it like sphagnum moss or a mix of moss and orchid bark for potting? How much light does it need? I am in south Fla. so I have tons of HOT sun all day. Its general needs. Thanks for any help.

    The leaves look like a Dischidia. It's definitely not a Myrrmecodia.
