Dischidias are Epiphytic, growing on the bark of trees in their native environment. They are best grown in a very well drained medium possibly enhanced with coir dust or coconut fiber chips. Watering can be every 2-3 days depending on conditions of heat and light. Brightly lit to partially shaded areas are suitable, window sills, greenhouses with light intensities suitable for tropicals. A trellis should be provided for plant to attach its growing tendrils or allowed to hang free of other plants or objects for a cascading effect.
Plants seem to grow most vigorously in the summer time.
Interesting plant that garners much attention because of its inflated leaves and unusual growth habit.
