- In this video, I give a introduction of the dischidia plant family and give you a tour of my dischidia collection and propagates. Very little is known/understood about this unique plant family (also known as ant plant for their symbiotic relationship). I couldn’t find much care information on them online, therefore I hope this video can be a useful resource on care and species introduction!

Dischidia Imbricata
Dischidia Geri
Dischidia Major
Dischidia Nummularia
Dischidia Nummularia Dragon Jade
Dischitia Nummularia Variegata
Dischidia Oiantha Variegata

I found your video on dischidias as I am trying to rescue mine. After watching your video, I think I must have over watered my small pectenoides on a sea shell!
😀😀 they really hate water
Watching these videos are my kinda therapy😅
Haha thank youu
Lol I was just complaining to my friend about the lack of detailed info on dischidias - it seems to boil down to “treat them like hoyas.” Thank you for this, I have an oiantha I’ve had for a year that I wanna keep thriving!
Also your favorite Spice Girl lol i related to that deeply millennial statement
Whoaaa Im glad to be able to bring you some info on dischidia species and care! I think watering them correctly is the key to having them survive/thrive!
They look like hoyas!
I love your genuine excitement about plants!
Thank youuu I feel so lucky to have this platform to share my plant love with other plant lovers. 🙏🏽
Yes...exactly...pls dont change for any reason...
2:09 it’s like a Crassula argentea variegata but vining and tropical! So pretty
🥰🥰
Your plant collection is INCREDIBLE! Thank you for sharing all of your Dischidia's!
🥰🥰
Before this video, never knew anything about dischidias. I have been a plant enthusiast for the last couple months or so (2 months to be exact🙂) and am so glad I found you, all your videos are very educational and entertaining to say the least. But in your videos my eyes are focused more on the backdrop, beyond the plants and into the background, hoping to catch a glimpse of that breathtaking view of a lake😍 This one did that for me so thank you. Btw before plants came along I was more of an enthusiast in beautiful interiors and its surroundings but your house is something else. Thank you
again for sharing the beauty from your part of the world❤
Thank you so much for writing in! I’m happy you found your plant journey and that we are connected. Theres so many natural wonders for you to discover ahead!
So you’re a mind reader now? 😂 I was just sitting here on my lunch break at work, wishing I could find a dischidia nummularia near me. I have been looking for weeks. They are so precious. Time to relax and watch this video for the remainder of my lunch! ❤️🌿
Haha Im also a fortune teller, and I say... you will find a dischidia nummularia soon!
onlyplants, yesssss! I hope so! 😂😂
@@Weirder_the_better Check on Etsy I'm sure you'll find it.
its already 1:33 am here in the philippines but yeah i saw m notif and here i am watching ur videos♡
Thank you so much. Do get enough quality sleep though! Its important for a good day ahead 🤓
Awesome video. Thank you! I just got my first Dischidia (pectinoides) at a wonderful nursery in the LA area that always has some goodies to discover. Years ago, I fell in love with everything about these plants (much like your expressed joy in this video) but only before my heart turned to succulents lol. I couldn't manage to keep an outstanding gifted 'Million Stars' subspecies alive and I never forgave myself. I've even found a few variegated 'stars' but only now feel the courage to try again with my new 'ant plant'. Wonderful informative video that I'll be using for reference in the future.
I am really empress with your dischida collections.
Thank you. They are so dang cool.
ahhhhhh.. i Love dischidias but now I love them even more! My favorite here is the Dischida Major 😍 Be still my heart!...or be still mine eyes! wait..uh...i don't even know if that makes sense or if I'm using that wrong. 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you for showing these beauties!
Haha they are so loveable I hope more people get them so that they can be multiplied!
Holy crap I want every single one you’ve shown! How gorgeous!!!! What an amazing collection!!!
Haha thank you so much!! You should try you hand on some (or all) of them!
Happy see your new Vedio ❤
Thank you ❤️
Sean tyvm for this video!! I have a Variagated million hearts and I needed to know how to care for it...now I know... And I was drooling 🤤🤤🤤 over all of your awesome HOYA's 😍😍😍. Love your Video's TYVM 😁
🙌🏻
I've never tried these, the dragon jade is cool
😀😀
So helpful. I was overwatering my ruscifolia and giving it too much light. Thank you!
Wow nice plants
I also nearly killed a dischidia, and now I realize I might have overwatered it+ from the top. Thanks for the info! Your plan collection is just so soothing to watch. 🌱 ✌️
Thanks a lot 💐🙏🙏
I have brought last month
dischidea snail, I'm totally in love 🤗
Perfect timing. My daughter just gave me one today. Dischia Ruscifolia “Million Hearts”. I think variegated one cos has two colours
very interesting indeed...I remember watching a YT documentary about a sycamore fig tree somewhere in the forest of an African country. What 's so interesting was that these trees, when they produce fruits, they allow wasps to live in them to help them in so many ways. Quite similar to dischidia
Its amazing how plants and animals need each other to live. Specific plants also work with bees and birds to pollenate!
Discidia major is super unique wow
😀😀
I was sitting here making a haworthia list, and now that list has been scrapped in favor of dischidia . . . so many plants, so little time . . .
So many plants, so little space lol 🤣
Just bought a small Dischidia Oiantha in a supermarket in Vietnam for 2$. Thanks for the tips. :)
I feel like you guys out that way get the best climate for things like that. In my neck of the woods we gets a cold dry winter.
I’m starting to love this cute beautiful creature. I do have 3 varieties of dischidia, only just now that I learned their sp. name. Thank you!🤗
Thank you for this video. I have a Dischidia Nummularis I can't keep happy. I'm repotting it in coconut coir and watering less.
I got a hoya ruscifolia in early January and it has tripled or quadrupled in size! I have it planted in mostly spaghnum moss with a very thick and short spaghnum pole in the center. The only water it usually gets is when I spray the moss pole when it dries. I've noticed when I water it directly I get a couple yellow leaves. It grows faster than any of my hoyas.
They really hate water on their leaves 😀
thanks im ex cited to try butterfly propagation on my dischidia oiantha
Wonderful plants and interesting ways of treating them, as in hanging upside down and wrapping on wood with coir. Great video!
Thank you so much. Its fun to do science hacks on them to replicate their natural habitat!
Thank you for sharing your collection, I'm getting in dischidias now. I just got myself a cutting of dischidia nummularia & have put on a hanging medium. I can't wait for my one to get as full as yours. I love your videos 🥰
Thank youuuu they are so slow which makes them so precious
@@onlyplants I'm so used to houseplants which grows fast & big. I'll be patient with this then, it's just so beautiful
You have made dischidia seem so much easier than anyone else has before. I now feel like I could actually grow some confidently - thank you 😊 very informative. Keep these types of videos coming!!
Haha thank you. It takes a bit of trying and failing to get them right! Just keep in mind my tips about watering (they hate water) and you will be fine!
I bought a Dischidia Ovata today and I was SO relieved when you said it's the most forgiving one! Phew! I had never heard of this genus before and have fallen in love. So glad I found your video as there doesn't seem to be much information out there!
Thanks for writing in. Hope you have some success with your dischidia ovata. Squeeze an old leaf to test for firmness. If it folds easily and feels limp, its time to water. But if it feels hard and firm, it wants to be left alone. They are prone to overwatering
Why my Dischidia Ovata has curly leaves?
I just got my first dischidia at Ikea (of all places) and it is super cute and is looking very healthy even though it was absolutely soaked in water when I got it. Thanks for this very informative video. If I hadn't watched it I might actually have killed it, as I had no idea that they don't like water that much.
Just catching up on this finally! Dischidias are really cool, but there is so little info out there, so thanks for sharing!
Yayeee. They are getting some attention these days
you always put out great videos, never boring, thumbs up
Thank youu
nice collection
I have the oiantha variegata, didn’t do much for a year but now doing very well this summer, the ruscifolia that I’m struggling some with. I’m going to repot it in a bark mixture. The Geri, which I find pretty easy and the imbricata coming along slowly but steady. Love that rattle skull one, I’ve never seen that one. Tfs
I’m going with dischidia platiphylla or hirsuta for the unknown ones. Thanks so much for this video❤️
Thank you for this video. I'm new at caring Dishidia and this helps a lot. Your follower from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Hello thank youuu. And its nice to meet you. Hope you have great success with your dischidias! Remember to take cuttings as plant insurance!
Each plant is such a beauty... It's. Difficult to say I love this one and then you go on the next and I am like I love this one and then you go to the next and I am like here I go again... Love this one......too. Thank you so much for the tour and giving us the details.. It's Yay to Dischidia for this moment in time. Love it all 🙏❤❤
Thank you so much. Dischidias are so dang cool I hope you can get your hands on a few
Loved this video! Super informative, loved the detail you went into, and the peaceful informal vibes and the intuitive ideas around the plants and their natural states !
I have quite a little collection and am so happy to find your tips! I have been watching your videos for the past 2 days!
Thank youuu
I just bought million heart and pebble beach dischidia. I don’t know how to water them. Hope ur tips can grow my plants well ☺️
Treat them a bit like a succulent. They can actually live in different medias you just have to water accordingly
Just when you look for plant related videos and your favourite vlogger uploads new one 💚 happiness into million. I just love how your videos are long and then by the end of your videos I’m like 😴 in a positive way.. please keep uploading 🤗
So glad to know such a good channel. I just come across this wonderful plant, discardia. Can you please take a video of how to mix or prepare the media for planting discardia? I use soil before I watch your video and they are not growing at all. Hope you can show step by step to how to propagate this wonderful plant, tqvm.
Hello, ill try to do a video on detailed dischidia care soon which will include soil and also propagation. Stay tuned and thanks for the helpful suggestion!
Wow... I love to watch your videos Sean, i love dischidia too! I have two dischidia variety pectinoides and geri that's it for now!
Thank youuu. Time to get more haha theres so many of them!
@@onlyplants you are truly welcome Sean, wish I could’ve more but dischidia so expensive here in the Philippines!
All of the blooms are so unique and beautiful 😍 the dischidia major is sooooo cool!
Its a conversation starter for sure that one!
My first impression to this major is wierd and surprised. I thought it was fake rubbery imitation plants. But no, its real plant. Wird yet exotic. I bought 1 right away in a very cheap price
I am trying to root string of dimes, pearls and dolphins right now! I’m new to this but determined! Thank you so much for this video.
😌 you’re welcome those things are a bit of challenge to root up. Good luck!
great content!! I didn’t know what to do with my one and only dischidia! and now I do, thanks to you!! ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good luck! Dont overwater them they hate water even more so than hoyas
Wonderful! A dischidia tour- thank you for sharing this fascinating collection and little-known genus.
Thank youuu ❤️🙏🏽
The Rattle Skull is my favorite 😻. Never seen one b4 👀.
I now look forward to your videos after coming home from work!
Thank you much!
My only concern in every video is whether I should address you as Sean or Shawn? Haha anyway, great video as usual!
Haha its Sean! 👻 but I’ll take Shawn or Shaun too!
i never knew what these plants were called before but i remember seeing them often in gardens growing up. the dischidia major especially looks like a plant from prehistoric times, amazing! i’d love to try growing one myself, but it seems intimidating.
Hello, its not that hard to grow them! Just keep in mind they want to be attached to something rather than live in soil... and they need to dry out fast between frequent waterings.
Thank you for the tips! Seems like they are similar to Begonias? I really hope I find one someday ☺️
i feel the same, dischidia are so cute and underrated :3 i’m so glad someone shares my enthusiasm for them
Excellent sir, am a plant lover, and like ur video and wanted it
omg!! that crazy hindu rope behind you!
Beautiful plants and place 🥰💞
I must have one of these! Thanks for this very informational user friendly video on dischidia.
You’re welcome :) hope you can get your hands on these
Awesome video to watch and can hear birds in the background. 🌿🐦
Haha yes the birds are talking to each other. Amazing 🙌🏻
I need all of the Dischidia!
Gotta catch ‘em all!
@@onlyplants That's exactaly how I feel haha
I love watching your videos! I chuck mine in the toilet and it's surprising doing really well!
Whoaaaa amazing. Do you get light in there?
onlyplants yeah that's the thing. It only gets soft morning light 😂 Idk how it survived! At first i put it at the best location, amazing lighting, but it starts to shrivel up.
Maybe it just wants to see you in the shower 😅
onlyplants HAHAHA OMG 😂😂
Thanks for sharing info on dischidia. They look cute. Will go & shop for one soon.
Hope you find some good ones! Keep in mind to propagate them once you receive them haha. Cuz they love to die.
onlyplants Noted with thanks. 🤗
Woohoo! Congratulations with the 10k subs!!!
Omg I cant believe it myself!
Woaahh akhirnya ada yg bahas dischidia juga...bikin iri koleksinya.
thank you bgt Sean buat tipsnya
Thank youuu nice to meet a fellow dischidia lover. Jarang ada yng bisa appreciate 🤓
I'm planning to order a big Dischidia Ovata with a really good price and your video came by which trigger my green light to go ahead. These dischidia definitely taking copies of strings of pearl, peperomia, hoya small leaves, some other hoya which could be made up of the Dischidia Spice Girls Hahaha Alright new genus in my wishlist. OMG I'm currently on Syngonium and Hoya craze.
Haha yes syngoniums are having a moment now. And so are hoyas.
I love aerial plants. Thanks for making this content, Shawn. ♥️
🤓❤️
thank you so much for this Sean. A friend gave me a dischidia plant a few weeks ago. (I am in the PHilippines) My dischie is thriving and I am inspired by your "inverted" potting : ) Could be doing the same. Thank you again. xx
Thank you for the video. Enjoyed much.
Thanks for watching! More to come!
Yes.....would love to see ur dream comes true
Ruscifolia & numullaria var 😍😍 adai dapat hasil propagasi nya, sukses ya chanel nya... Suka liat & dengerin semuanya 🥰👍
Makasih kak 🙏🏽🤓
Such beautiful plants! Had me spellbound throughout video.
Thank youuuu. They are so cute 🐸
I also found that I love them
Wow!🥰 I really enjoyed your video! Amazing collection!!!!🌱
Thank youu 🐸❤️
Dischidia, the poor man's Hoya...lol. I have 2 but my fave is the ovata. It's grown about 1 1/2 ft in 6 months. The flowers r so cute! Great video
Hello 👋🏻 haha poor mans hoya I love it!!! But they cost so much more than hoyas here... and I have a feeling thats because they havent figured out to grow them en masse yet!
Here in Canada they r cheaper than the hoyas
I loved the Spice Girls reference there! 😝
Yayeeee! I miss them
Ahhh I love these! I've wanted a Dischidia nummularia (string of nickels) since I saw them growing wild in Penang last year :) So beautiful when they climb up a tree
Ohhhh yeah they look so good in the wild!
Terima kasih for this interesting video again. I can't wait for your next video
Love from TheNetherlands 🇾🇪
Thank you so much!!
So interesting! I loved this!
Thanks for this video! Got my Dischidia on July of this year and was trying to find a video on how to take care of it. I found none! Atleast a not so informative one. I'm having a really hard time maintaining mine to how it looked when I bought it :( now I know better, I think :)
Awww. Just dont overwater it. After you live with it a while you will notice their leaves appearance when they are thirsty.
so glad that i found dischidia video,i have also bought a number of dischidia from thailand and parent plant have also died ,next time please make videos on how to style them
You have to keep propagating them in order to save them haha. Plant insurance. Just remember to give them medium to bright indirect light and almost never water them.
@@onlyplants thanks, please share more of your propagation tips ,and how to style and display them like how thai people hang them upside down etc
your plants are absolutely beautiful! first time seeing one of your videos & had to subscribe :)
Thank you so much Rachel. Glad we are connected 🙏🏽
Sean, I love these plants! What type of coconut hysk are you using and could you do a video on prepping it and planting into it? This is fascinating!
The coconut husks here are sold as potting media, usually for orchids. Im not sure they they are available there in your area. I’ll try to show it in another dischidia care video 😀
Hi from Fort Smith, Arkansas, USA! This had been the most interesting video I have watched in a long time. I have a little watermelon Dischidia plant (cutting) and I love her more after your video! I love all the varieties you showed, would you sell some cuttings? If not, that's okay, I like your videos just the same! Have fun with your houseplants! Lillian
Hello I cannot import or export plants 🙂 no permits
“has”
@@onlyplants -- Thank you for your response!
I love my Dischidia so I was so pleased to come across your video on care. My Oiantha propagation is slowly dying the leaves keep yellowing. I am afraid to water it. I live in zone 10B and keep it inside by an east facing window. When I put it outside was when I lost the most leaves. Please help😔
If you have enough foliage I recommend to propagate it. They are far easier to propagate than rescue. Send me images on my insta @bo.tan.ist so I can see also
Love the video and your personality!
Thank you 💖
Beautiful 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Hi Sean, I really look forward to your videos. I’ve learned a lot and appreciate your input cause we live in similar climate. I’ve adapted your soil mixture for my own collection.
I wad wondering if you keep plants inside AC rooms and how do you care for them? Would love to hear from you. 😊
Hello, I do keep some plants in my bedroom (in fact all my plants used to live in my bedroom!). I would love to do an episode on plants that do well in AC rooms (peperomias love it)
onlyplants Yes please, would really be helpful for plant parents in the tropics who rely on AC every day. 😊 Looking forward to it, Sean!
omg you have a beautiful collection!! i have a large plant spree coming in the mail so i watched your video for guidance on my new babies. could you share where you got those metal hanging pots with the removeable hangers i think they are so perfect!!
Wow beautiful plants
Thank you
12.34 dischidia oiantha variegated, i have only this Variety. Your dischidia collection realy awesome. Maybe after this will collect more. Again Thank you for the tips on care. 👍🏻 Terbaik.
Thank you. They dont take up a lot or space not require frequent watering. Very easy plants to have so long as you know the conditions!
onlyplants 🌿🥰
Hi Shawn
I just came across your video. I just recently recently purchased a dishchidia with coconut husk and I'm very excited about it. This video is very informative and I've learned alot about how to take care of this plant!
I've never had a plant that was growing in coconut husk. How do I know when the plant is too big for the husk? Or how do I manage it with the husk? My husk has wire around it holding it in I can show you a picture if you like . Just want to make sure I'm gonna manage properly...thanks again !!
Hello I just propagated a plant with husk grown in a metal cage 😀 its a bit tricky with the husk, as moisture can actually reside in there for a really long time and theres no way to test the moisture before watering. The only time Im comfortable with husks these days if if I propagated them and had the plant get used to my watering habits from infancy 😅
@@onlyplants yes I'm realizing this hahha. I guess I just have to figure it out on my own. But my plant will eventually grow out of its husk? AMD how do I know ? And how do I separate it from the husk or is this something we even do? Sorry I've never taken care of plant in a husk ..i live in canada and it's not really common haha
Hi Fives Sean🙌🏼 I looooove dischidias😁 Tq for sharing this🙏🏼
Whoaaa Im glad to know someone else that likes dischidias!
Very informative video Sean.
Thank youu 🤓
Very informative just loved it 👍👍
Thank you 🐸💕
Beautiful collections of Dischidia. Love them all. Love your house too! Beautiful location -> you live in heaven indeed Sean (Did I spelled it right? My apology if I did. Please correct me...)
I have only one, loved your video
I want them all 😄💞
Hahaa come get ‘em!! Hope they can be as popular and available as hoyas someday
@@onlyplants let me get my collection 1st 😁. They are not common in the 🇬🇧.
