You will receive the plant in the photos / video. Dischidia ovata, commonly known as the Watermelon Dischidia, is an epiphytic trailing plant with distinctive leaf striping that mimics the look of a watermelon rind. This listing is for a 2.5″ fully rooted plant with sun-stressed coloration—featuring tones of deep red and burgundy, brought out by bright light exposure.
This small but bold plant is a fantastic choice for collectors, terrariums, or as a cascading addition to your shelf displays. Ships free via USPS Priority Mail in an 8×8×8 box.
Watermelon-Like Foliage: Deep green elliptical leaves with prominent white venation.
Sun Stress Magic: Exposure to bright light brings out a striking red hue—an in-demand trait for plant collectors.
Epiphytic & Compact: Naturally grows on trees in the wild, making it a great fit for hanging planters or terrarium life.
Rare but Easy to Grow: A less common Dischidia that adapts well to typical indoor environments with bright, indirect light.
Light: Bright indirect light to filtered sun. Sun stress is best maintained in morning or dappled light.
Water: Let soil dry slightly between waterings. Avoid constant moisture or soggy soil.
Humidity: Thrives in 50–70%, but is forgiving in standard indoor air.
