Belonging to the Apocynaceae family, Dischidia species Thailand is an epiphyte — meaning it naturally grows on trees. This species originates from Thailand to northern Australia and the Indonesian islands. The ant plant develops not only fleshy leaves but also hollow, urn-shaped leaves where ants settle. This tropical epiphyte forms safe nesting sites for ants in nature — a fascinating example of botanical symbiosis. It’s perfect as a decorative hanging or climbing plant indoors or in a terrarium. The plant receives nutrients and protection from the ants, while the ants benefit from a safe shelter — a wonderful balance found in nature. The small, purple urn-shaped flowers of Dischidia species Thailand give it an elegant and exotic appearance. It’s easy to care for, as long as its natural needs are met. Water moderately — once every two to three days is sufficient. Let the soil nearly dry out between waterings and use a well-draining substrate such as orchid mix or coconut fiber.
