Dischidia bengalensis

Information

Plant Details & Care

Appearance & Origin:

• Native to South Asia, this twining, epiphytic plant is a low-maintenance gem.

• It features unique, delicate leaves that often grow in pairs.

• If/when this plant flowers, expect dainty, bell-shaped creamy-yellow flowers to appear during the warmer months.

Care Guide:

• Light: Thrives best in bright, indirect light.

• Water: Water well, allowing the free-draining soil to completely dry out between waterings.

• Feeding: Benefits from regular feeding with a half-strength fertiliser during the growing season.

• Maintenance: This plant is generally low-maintenance but appreciates humidity and benefits from regular repotting.

Winter Care & Dormancy Alert

Please note: Many of our special Ceropegia varieties (including those with tubers/caudices) will naturally slow down growth during winter.   They may even lose some leaves or appear to die right back (go dormant).   Please do not panic if this happens!

To keep them healthy through the cooler months, simply reduce their water—especially if you notice them going dormant. When spring returns, they will reliably send out lovely new growth.
