Description

Selling size: well-rooted plant

Plant Care:

Water Moderately

This epiphytic plant receives its moisture from dew and the air. It can tolerate a drier growing medium, and if grown on bark, should be misted frequently or submerged in water until air bubbles disappear.

High Light

This plant loves to receive lots of bright, filtered light. It may even tolerate a few hours of direct morning or evening sunlight.

Moderate Humidity

This plant requires a high humidity environment (75% >) to thrive, although it will tolerate a slightly less humid location.

Problems & Maintenance

The Dischidia oiantha Variegata is prone to mealybugs. Inspect its vines regularly to keep them at bay. As this plant has white, variegated leaves, it requires higher amounts of light to photosynthesize.

Suitable for Indoors

This is a plant that will live happily indoors so long it is properly cared for. It can also be planted outdoors, but do not expose it to harsh, direct sunlight or the variegated leaves may burn.
