Dischidia
Also known as: Ant Plant, Million Hearts
Summer
Every 12 days
Winter
Every 16 days
Let the top 2-3cm of soil dry out before watering. Stick your finger in - if it feels dry, water.
Bright indirect
Near a window but no direct rays hitting the leaves
50-70%
Average home humidity is fine.
Safe for pets and children
Needs very little soil - mount or use orchid bark/sphagnum. Small pots only.
The 12-16 day range is a starting point. A 5cm pot dries quickly, but the soil should still reach its proper dry-down before watering. A 22cm pot can hold moisture deep inside even when the top looks dry.
This plant usually prefers a snug root zone. Size up only when roots are circling, the plant dries out much faster than usual, or growth has clearly stalled.
Refresh gritty mix when drainage slows, salts crust on the surface, or the potting mix collapses - usually every 18-24 months for stable plants.
Epiphytic. Related to Hoya. Quirky leaf shapes.
