Dischidia Platyphylla in 5.5” Pot Ships With Pot Well Rooted and Super Healthy!!

Please Read! ❗Items cannot be shipped to CALIFORNIA or ARIZONA due to state import laws. Any orders from these states will be canceled. My apologies for this inconvenience.This is a listing for a Dischidia platyphylla that ships in its 5.5" pot. It is well rooted very healthy. You will receive the EXACT item in the pictures. Growing Information Bright, indirect light is ideal for Dischidia platyphylla. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Use a very well-draining potting mix, such as an orchid or hoya mix. Moderate humidity levels are preferred. Mist occasionally if the air is too dry. Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Care and Cultivation They thrive in humid, tropical environments and are often found growing as epiphytes on tree trunks and branches. Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can be too intense, especially in the afternoon. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a blend of orchid potting mix, perlite, pine bark, and peat moss. Prefers some humidity, reflecting its rainforest origins. Consider using a humidifier or placing the plant in a humid room, such as a bathroom, if there is enough light. Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Hoyas can take several years to bloom, and they often produce flowers on the same spurs year after year so don't remove the spurs when flowers drop!

Hoyas are relatively low-maintenance and make excellent houseplants for those who enjoy fragrant, beautiful blooms.Ships in the 5.5” pots shown in the pictures.

Name: Dischidia platyphylla

Scientific Name: Dischidia platyphylla

Family: Apocynaceae

  

Product Description:

Dischidia platyphylla is a compact, epiphytic vine native to the Philippines, known for its flat, rounded leaves that grow tightly against vertical surfaces in a shingling pattern. The leaves are succulent and smooth, ranging from bright green to gray-green, and often overlap like roof tiles. Beneath each leaf, adventitious roots help anchor the plant to bark or wood. This species has a mutualistic relationship with arboreal ants, which nest inside the hollow leaf bases and provide nutrients through detritus. Flowers are small, white to cream, and appear sporadically under ideal conditions. Its compact form and unusual growth habit make it ideal for mounted displays and terrarium walls.  

Origination: Philippines

Historic Uses: Ornamental epiphyte for mounted displays, terrariums, and ant-plant collections  

Height: Vines trail or climb up to 3 feet (90 cm)  

Hardiness: USDA Zones 11a–12b  

Flower Color: White to cream, star-shaped  

Maturity: Blooms sporadically in high humidity and bright filtered light  

Other Names: Sometimes called “Shingle Plant” or “Helmet Leaf Dischidia”  

Growing Instructions:

Dischidia platyphylla thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity (60–80%). Mount on bark or wood slabs to replicate its natural growth habit. Use a well-draining mix of orchid bark, sphagnum moss, coco coir, and perlite. Water when the medium feels dry but avoid soggy conditions. Maintain temperatures between 65–95°F, and mist regularly if grown indoors. Fertilize monthly with a diluted balanced fertilizer during active growth. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. Watch for mealybugs and spider mites, especially in dry environments.

Good Food
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have had South African Billtong before and I loved it, so I thought I would try SA Droewars and see if they were as satisfying. The answer is yes! They are delicious and nothing like your typical mass marketed jerky snacks sold in the US. Droewars are lightly seasoned beef jerky sticks and, although I have not seen the numbers, they seem to be only lightly salted (important for me). The meat is not chewy or grisly, so the beef cuts they use must be prime. This is the first time I have tried the Ayoba-Yo brand and I am happy with my purchase. I am awaiting delivery of several varieties of Billtong from Ayoba-Yo presently and I will report back. Not inexpensive, but the value is there for sure. Jimmy

Almost not edible
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 3), Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I am south african, an afrikaaner. I grew up eating droewors and biltong. I'm not sure what went wrong with this product. I have to believe it was off quality product and not what they are choosing to ship. The flavor was ok. Nothing spectacular. Thr big issue was texture of the droewors and the fact that the meat had shrunk away from the casing leaving the casing inedible. See my pic. This is not what droeworse looks like. Also, being from south africa I've never heard anyone say the word ayoba....

Great taste. Unusual flavor but still good. It was a very dry texture. I do want to try another flavor.

Meh
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 3)
It’s just okay. I’ve been looking for something that is as close to possible as dry wors in South Africa. This is not it. Is it dry wors? Yes. But is it good dry wors? No; it is very average. I wouldn’t buy it again. I’ll have to keep on searching for that yummy, moist, soft, flavorful dry wors that seems so elusive on this side of the pond.

I like them as they are a quick snack on the go. I go for these beef sticks and I eat lots of tasty WHY BARS to get high-quality nutrition for my busy lifestyle. Why not!
