Why we love Kelly

She’s a beautiful trailing plant with unique, intricate markings. She looks great as a hanging plant or placed on a shelf.

  • Kelly likes...
    • Medium light

      Kelly prefers bright, indirect light. If her leaves begin to turn red, she’d like to move to a spot with less sunlight.

    • Light watering

      She’s very easy going and won’t mind a missed watering. Check her once a week and give her a drink when the top half of her soil begins to feel dry.

    • Feeding

      Feed Kelly once a month during spring and summer to encourage growth.

  • This cool customer is known fondly as a watermelon dischidia, and it’s easy to see why. Its mini oval-shaped leaves have intricate white lines, which mimic the markings found on a watermelon rind. Like its close relative the hoya plant, dischidia ovata grows long, trailing vines with dense leaves, making it an attractive hanging plant.

    Dischidia ovata is native to the tropical forests of South-East Asia and Australia, where you’ll find it wrapping around other plants and trees. It likes to be reminded of home, with humid conditions and indirect light. It will also appreciate a feed once a month during spring or summer.

    Did you know?

    Dischidia ovata will sometimes produce small clusters of red flowers. They grow between the stem and the leaf, and give off a strong, sweet scent.
