This plant is native to India and China in tropical areas. It lives in trees as support (epyphytic).
Called an ant plant because ants sometimes live in the leaves that have been modified and form cavities. These cavities eventually fill with the plant's own roots. Not all the leaves are modified. The others are round like a silver dollar.

As a houseplant it prefers warm humid conditions and bright light, but needs to dry out between watering.
It is a close relative of the Hoya
