Horticultural Description
Dischidia Button Orchid is a trailing epiphytic plant. It bears a very close relationship to the Hoya, and also grows small wax-like flowers. It prefers to be pot bound and is hardy to 55 degrees F.
“In our Lake Erie greenhouses, this cultivar produces its most vibrant foliage when given consistent morning light and steady warmth. When your order arrives, allow it to settle for 24 hours in indirect light before potting up into fresh, airy potting mix.”
— Jen Webber, Lead HorticulturistFrequently Asked Growing Questions
