Can someone please help me ID yet another new plant? I just couldn't pass it up.....even though I don't know for sure what it is. My guess is Dischidia - but it's only a guess and deep down, I'm HOPING it's a hoya! What do you all think?
THANKS!!
Betsy
My guess is Dischidia...the one I know as Phillipinense...or however that's spelled (one 'l' and 2 'p's??) lol!
Same one that Patti posted a while back and ? someone else before her.....Barb maybe?
Any evidence of blooms or 'spent' blooms?
Thanks for jogging my memory on that, Nan! I went back and looked at it......IT WAS MY OWN DEAR SIS WHO POSTED WITH THE SAME PLANT! LOL Guess she bought one too. =0)
Ah well......now it'll be a race to see who can get theirs to bloom first! ha ha
Betsy
lol!
That's what I was thinking, but sometimes I get you mixed up with Barb and think *she's* kabob's (right?) sister, and so on!
I know it as Phillipinense (or whatever) but as you read there was some discussion on the 'real' or 'correct' name....I have *no* idea!
Good luck with yours....it's a great plant.
I've had mine a year or so....and although other Dischidias have bloomed for me, this one hasn't...but it's growing good!
Looks like the D. F-440... I love it because it grows so happily!!!! Mine bloomed once...hoping for blooms this year as I have learned to keep them drier!
Carol
Wow, maybe I should not order one of these, I'm sure it will be a gonner in a month. Do you keep all dischidias on the drier side?
Tami
Every since I started growing them drier, they are growing better...but I have one outside in the rain and it is taking over the trees!!!! And it gets VERY wet and VERY dry...I don't pay any attention to it.
Isn't it funny how things outside hanging in the trees can seem to take all kinds of abuse? Certainly a LOT more water than ones in the house. I think it is all that fresh air and much higher light levels. I have overwatered sooo many plants in the house...but just never seem to overwater the ones outside.
Marcy
That is weird Marcy. I had a few outside during the monsoons that were just saturated with the rains this summer, the only thing I noticed different is that they grew alot more. Inside they would of croaked. It must me the difference in light and air circulation, and of course we get some humidity..
