Dischidia hirsuta

Dischidia hirsuta - a rare botanical species that grows in the tropical forests of Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand. The plant shows morphological variations depending on its habitat.

Dischidia hirsuta grows very well both mounted, in which case frequent watering is necessary, and also planted in pots or baskets. If grown in a high humidity environment, the roots that appear at each node easily attach to any support.

The plant has very interesting, fuzzy, structured leaves that dramatically change their appearance when grown in strong light, turning dark purple, almost black.

Although the flowers are generally considered insignificant, collectors will enjoy their interesting appearance. The plant can bloom in any season, as long as it receives good light. The flowers are usually deep purple or pink, but can also have variations in shades of yellow/orange.
Placement: filtered light, tolerates direct sun for a few hours daily
Watering: water when the substrate is almost dry. The plant tolerates some periods of drought well.

Pot diameter: 10.5 cm. The length of the vines varies.

Sold without the decorative pot.
