about this plant

Dischidia platyphylla

The Dischidia platyphylla is a part of the same family as Hoya and native to tropical areas of China and India.In the wild ants live inside the balloon-like organs produced by the plant. They bring in nutrients which fend off predatory insects. Dischidia can be a lovely plant to grow in the home, they add a lovely brightness to any room and work great as hanging plants.

Water Let the soil dry out fully, then water well.

Never seen this dischidia before

Was a bit worried about pests in between the curled leaves, but it actually looks fine. Gave it a quick soapy rinse and it looks amazing!

After having a sucessful
first order, I was disappointed that on ordering for the second time and actually paying extra for frost protection for my plant that the plant arrived very cold and the foil protection actually made many of the leaves turn black. Disappointed on this occasion.

Beautiful unique foliage

As always with House of Kojo, this plant came in fantastic conditions, healthy plant, securely packaged, especially for such a long plant!
No damage at all! I currently have her a little decorated for Christmas in more low light conditions, but with a grow-light, and she seems happy! I love how different her leaves are compared to my other plants.
