Dischidia Care

Keep the potting soil slightly moist, but avoid standing water, which can cause root rot. This plant also likes moist air.

This plant usually does not need pruning, but if you want to encourage fuller growth, you can trim back the stems by a few inches.

If the potting mix is rich enough and saturated with useful substances, then you can forget about additional fertilization. Otherwise, you can apply a balanced fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season.

Dischidia does not need much sun and can grow well in low-light conditions. This makes it an ideal plant for shaded areas. You can place the pots in the center of the room or on the northern windowsill.

We can identify this plant as an epiphyte, so it needs well-drained and aerated soil with a high content of nutrients. You can choose from the orchid mix, coconut soil, or shredded bark.

Cut off a branch or stem of the plant and cut it into separate pieces, one for each node with leaves. Place the cuttings in water or a potting mix.

Dischidia likes moderate temperatures, with 55-90°F (13-32°C) being ideal. It can also withstand a cool temperature of 54℉ (12℃).

Choose a container that is 2 inches (5 cm) wider in diameter than the previous one. Make sure the pot has drainage holes while the container material doesn't matter.

In its natural, tropical habitat, it grows on trees and doesn't need much water.
