Plant Care

Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun, which may scorch the variegated foliage.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%+).

Temperature: Prefers 65–85°F (18–29°C).

Soil: Well-draining epiphytic mix, such as orchid bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, and organic matter, or mount on cork, wood, Hygrolon, EpiWeb, or another suitable humid surface.

Propagation

Dischidia ruscifolia 'Variegata' is readily propagated from stem cuttings containing at least one node. Because it is a cultivated variegated form, propagation by cuttings preserves the characteristics of the parent plant, though variegation may vary from cutting to cutting. Place cuttings in moist sphagnum moss, water, or a well-draining propagation mix until roots develop, then pot into an epiphytic mix or attach to a suitable mounted surface.
