Dischidia oiantha variegata

Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can burn the variegated leaves.

Watering:
Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings. Water less frequently in cooler months. Avoid soggy soil to prevent root rot.

Temperature:
Prefers warm temperatures (18–28°C / 65–82°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

Humidity:
Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50%+). Mist occasionally or use a humidity tray if the air is dry.

Soil:
Use a well-draining, airy mix (such as orchid bark + perlite + peat or coco coir). Avoid heavy, moisture-retaining soils.

Fertilizer:
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. No need to fertilize in winter.

Pruning:
Trim leggy growth to encourage bushier vines. Can also be pruned to shape or control size.

Propagation:
Easily propagated by stem cuttings placed in water, sphagnum moss, or moist soil.
