Uniquely, it is planted into discarded snail shells from the rice fields of Thailand. Making it not only a growing, living and thriving houseplant, but a work of art in its own right.

 

Dischidia needs a bright spot, requiring at least half a day's filtered sunlight. Watering only when the soil is dry, submerge the snail pot into rainwater for a  couple of minutes, then allow to drain. Known for its fleshy, succulent-like leaves and intriguing growth habit, Dischidia Shelly is a member of the Dischidia genus, native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia.

 

What makes this plant stand out are its small, round leaves that appear almost like little buttons or coins along its slender vines. The leaves are a beautiful green, sometimes with a slight silvery sheen, giving them an extra touch of uniqueness.

Dischidia Shelly is a versatile plant perfect for hanging baskets or mounted on walls, where its cascading vines can spill over beautifully. It’s also epiphytic, meaning in nature it grows on trees, making it a perfect candidate for unique planting setups, such as on driftwood or in terrariums. Despite its exotic appearance, it's relatively easy to care for, making it a great option for beginner plant enthusiasts.

 

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys warm, humid conditions, making it well-suited to bathrooms or kitchens. Watering should be done moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. As with most Dischidia, Shelly is non-toxic and safe for pets, so you can enjoy this little beauty without any worries.

With its compact size and delightful trailing habit, Dischidia Shelly brings a touch of tropical charm to any space, adding both greenery and a sense of adventure to your indoor jungle!

 

Purely Care Guide 

 

To care for Dischidia Shelly, place it in bright, indirect light for optimal growth. It prefers well-draining soil, and it’s important to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings to avoid overwatering. This plant loves warm and humid environments, so maintaining a temperature range between 18°C and 27°C (65°F to 80°F) is ideal.

 

Mist the plant occasionally or place it near a humidifier to keep its leaves hydrated, especially during dry months. Dischidia Shelly can be grown as a trailing plant in hanging baskets or mounted on a surface, like wood or bark, to mimic its natural epiphytic growth. With a bit of love and attention, this compact and charming plant will thrive, adding a playful touch of green to your space!
