Do you have any plants where your experience differs from care information or advice you read / heard? Thats the case for my Dischidia ovata ‘one stripe’! I had heard that this plant should only be watered when completely dry and the leaves are soft. When I gave it this care, it grew slowly and always with wonky or burned leaves. Now, I water when about 1/2 dry. By not letting this plant dry out, I’ve been rewarded with much quicker growth and nicer, larger leaves! *keep in mind I have this plant in a very chunky mix, the top 1/3 of the root system has very little soil, mostly chunky perlite, orchid bark and coco husk, the bottom 2/3 of the mix is still chunky, but also moisture retaining with soil. The smallest photo is when I got it one year ago, then the photo with a lil plant on the trellis was six months ago when I still was letting it dry out too much, and now look how much it’s grown with proper care!
