An epiphyte in its natural habitat, your dischidia will look its best either trained to climb up a structure, in a hanging pot or cascading from a high shelf. The lush, mid-green leaves of this plant are round and curl inwards as it matures, growing from vining stems as they dangle or climb. Keep this plant happy with the right balance of light and moisture, and it'll make you smile in turn with more of its elegant, verdant foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eDischidia platyphylla\u003c\/i\u003e (flat-leaved plant with parted crowns)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis species' name has been accepted and undisputed since first publication in 1906.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFlat-leaf Dischidia, Paddle-leaf Vine, Shingle Plant\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNative to tropical Southeast Asia, specifically the Philippines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePrefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct morning or evening sun.
