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!

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.

Seek and you will find. (Poems that speak to you)
Format: Paperback
I was not familiar with his work but have become a fan. Of course, as is true of my review of most poets work, I find more of the author's poems that I don't get or can't appreciate than ones I do; however, I found enough which moved me or had some profound impact that I am keeping this collection close for re-reading.

Above the River: The Complete Poems of James Wright
Format: Paperback
James Wright is a terrific, though not well known, American poet of the 1950's and 60's. Along with Robert Bly and William Duffey, Wright helped to open a new page in modern poetry which encouraged writers to break from the restrictions of traditional British formats. Personal and reflective, the poems focus on nature and have a strong touch of influence from ancient Chinese poets. Though the collection is filled with great stuff, my favorite is "Northern Pike."

Sublime Poetry Slightly Flawed by Format
Format: Paperback
I hate to give this work anything less than 5-stars, because at the moment (and probably most future moments) I revere James Wright's poetry. He makes blue collar blackened river Ohio come alive riven death with darkness and life. So this book is a must for poetry lovers. Where it distracts me is the attempts at completeness is a difficult editor's dilemma and one that doesn't serve the poet or the poet's reader well here. There are two James Wright's out there (this book presents three), as is true with most sublimated artist that pass through a learning phase before hitting on their voice, their style. James Wright started as a formalist (not my favored style) hailing structure and rhyme sometimes at the expense of meaning and language (disclaimer...one man's humble opinion belies a personal taste and no two taste buds seem the same). The book of course being a complete work, offers all of those poems of bandied prose. And then the editor offers a bridge or break of sorts in Wright's translated works of German and Spanish poets. Wright was a great poet in English, but the gift of gifted translation should have been left to the likes of W.S. Merwin, Anthony Kerrigan, Charles Tomlinson, and Stephen Mitchell for Neruda, Paz, and Rilke. So, Wright's "Above the River," really first breaks the surface on page 119 after his epiphany to all thing free form. It is then that his poetry sings darkly. I leave you with some of Wright's beautiful language (there's plenty to be had). Buy the book for the rest. In Fear of Harvests It has happened Before: nearby, The nostrils of slow horses Breathe evenly, And the brown bees drag their high garlands, Heavily, Toward hives of snow.

A Twentieth Century Teasure
Format: Paperback
James Wright's poems are acts of courage. His persistent advocacy of the underdog is real and clear-eyed(American Twilights 1957, written fo the executed killer Caryl Chessman). "Arrangements with Earth for Three Dead Friends" is one of the most moving elegies I know in the language (taken from his early career). Then there are the wonderful and luminous translations "ten Short Poems: from the Spanish of Juan Ramon Jiminez, Pablo Neruda's "Anguish of Death", Cesar Vallejo's "I Am Freed" and many others. These are vital and wide-ranging poems that belong in every library.

Wow! Wright Rocks!
Format: Paperback
This collection brings together both the greater & lesser known works of James Wright so that students or lovers of poetry can get a true feeling for his style & focus. Some pieces seem less focused, while others hone in with cruel beauty on those moments where the literal and the figurative worlds collide. Brilliant poet. I recommend this book especially to serious students of poetry.
