Dischidia imbricata is a fascinating and unusual epiphytic plant in the Apocynaceae family, native to Southeast Asia. It is closely related to Hoyas and is often grown by collectors for its distinctive growth habit and foliage.

The plant’s creeping stems bear small, rounded, scale-like leaves that press tightly against the surface they grow on – whether bark, wood, or other structures. This overlapping, shingle-like pattern (hence the name imbricata, meaning “overlapping”) creates a unique tiled effect. The leaves are typically olive-green to grey-green, sometimes flushed with purple depending on light levels.

In its natural habitat, Dischidia imbricata clings to tree trunks and branches, forming decorative mats of foliage. It also develops special “domatia” leaves, hollow structures that ants inhabit in a symbiotic relationship – the ants protect the plant and in return supply nutrients.


Dischidia imbricata – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some dappled morning or evening sun but avoid harsh midday rays, which can scorch the delicate leaves.

Watering

Keep the substrate lightly moist, allowing the top to dry slightly between waterings. As an epiphyte, it dislikes sitting in waterlogged soil. Mist regularly to maintain moisture on aerial roots. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 18–28°C. Keep above 15°C at all times.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity (60–80%) to thrive. Ideal for terrariums, greenhouse cabinets, or bathrooms with good light.

Soil and Potting

Use a very free-draining, airy mix – such as orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss, and coco chips – to mimic its epiphytic environment. Mounting on cork or wood with moss is another excellent option.

Feeding

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser or orchid feed. Stop feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim back overly long stems to encourage branching and a fuller mat-like appearance. Cuttings root easily in moss, water, or an airy mix.

Growth and Maturity

A slow to moderate grower, Dischidia imbricata eventually forms creeping mats of shingled leaves across surfaces. Mature plants may produce small, pale flowers, though it is grown mainly for its unique foliage.

Common Issues

  • Leaf shrivelling: Underwatering or very low humidity.

  • Rotting leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leggy growth: Insufficient light.

  • Pests: May occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.

Background and Benefits

With its shingle-like leaves and unusual ant-plant relationship, Dischidia imbricata is a true curiosity for plant collectors. Its compact, mat-forming growth makes it ideal for terrariums, mounted displays, or hanging planters where its unusual foliage can be admired up close.

good water
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I like to taste of this water And I feel like the quality is good. the size of the bottom is perfect for on the go. the water quality is good and it is refreshing. the water doesn't have a bad after taste. The only drawback would be the bottles are a little thin and you have to worry about the durability of them if stacking in the fridge because they could open from pressure. The durability of the bottles are lacking s bit.

I always buy it because it has a great balance between price and quality. Here in America, you have to be careful with food and even with water...

Clean, easy drinking water with a mild taste
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 15)
This bottled water has a clean and mild flavor that makes it easy to drink throughout the day. It is light and refreshing without any strong mineral aftertaste, which keeps it simple and consistent. The bottles are convenient for carrying around, and the 15 pack is practical for keeping stocked at home, work, or in the fridge. They are easy to open and store without taking up too much space. I like that the taste is consistent across bottles and works well for everyday hydration without any added flavor or heaviness. One thing to keep in mind is that it is a very basic bottled water option, so it stands out more for convenience and consistency rather than anything unique. Overall, this is a reliable everyday water choice that is simple, clean tasting, and easy to keep on hand.

Cheap and delicious water.
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Delicious! I can't stand some bottled water like Dasani, but once I got it ice cold, it's really nice. Bottles arrived in perfect condition with no leaking.
