19.06.2023 - 05:33 / balconygardenweb.com
In this article, we will explore the best ways to grow and care for Dischidia Platyphylla, including propagation techniques, ideal growing conditions, and maintenance tips.
Dischidia Platyphylla is a unique and attractive plant that belongs to the family of Apocynaceae. This climbing vine is native to the Philippines and has an epiphytic growth habit. The branches’ twine and their round leaves overlap slightly.
