Dischidia ‘Watermelon’ (Dischidia ovata) is a unique and eye-catching trailing plant known for its watermelon-patterned leaves. It’s a member of the Apocynaceae family, related to Hoyas, and is popular among houseplant lovers for its easy care and cascading vines.

Characteristics:

• Growth Habit: A trailing epiphyte, meaning it naturally grows on trees and absorbs moisture from the air.
• Leaves: Small, oval-shaped green leaves with white or light green veins, resembling a watermelon rind.
• Flowers: Tiny, pale yellow or reddish flowers that bloom occasionally but are not the main attraction.
• Vining Nature: Can grow long cascading vines, perfect for hanging planters.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some filtered sun but avoid harsh, direct sunlight.
• Soil: Well-draining mix, such as orchid bark, sphagnum moss, or aroid soil.
• Water: Water sparingly—let the top 1-2 inches of soil dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
• Humidity: Loves high humidity (60%+), making it great for terrariums or humid indoor spaces.
• Temperature: Best in 65–85°F (18–29°C); avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Care & Maintenance:

• Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) once a month during the growing season.
• Pruning: Trim leggy vines to encourage bushier growth.
• Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings—root in sphagnum moss, water, or soil.
• Pests & Issues: Watch for mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects, especially in dry conditions.

Uses in Home & Garden:

• Hanging Baskets: Perfect for displaying its trailing vines.
• Mounted Displays: Can be grown on driftwood or bark like orchids.
• Terrariums & Humid Spaces: Thrives in high humidity environments.
• Companion Plants: Pairs well with Hoyas, Peperomias, and other trailing plants.
