Dischidia ovata (Watermelon Dischidia)

Dischidia ovata, also known as Watermelon Dischidia, is a cousin of the Hoya plant. It is easy to grow and can make a great addition to your collection of houseplants!

This plant has leaves that are shaped like eggs, and it's called "ovata" because of this. The leaves have a pattern that looks like the rind of a watermelon, which is why it's called the Watermelon Dischidia.

Dischidia plants come in over 100 different species and are found in tropical areas of Asia. They can grow well in different types of light, but it's best to put them in filtered, bright indirect light. If you give them too much direct sunlight, their leaves may turn red, but this is normal.

Dischidia plants are used to having a lot of air circulation around them and need a potting mix that has good drainage. If the plant stays wet for too long, it can start to rot.
