Place Dischidia platyphylla in a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight. Filtered or indirect light is best. An east or west facing window is ideal.
Keep the plant at a constant temperature between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.
Dischidia prefer moderate and regular watering. Wait until the substrate is dry on top before watering, then water so as to moisten the substrate well, but avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Like many epiphytic plants, Dischidia platyphylla prefers relatively high humidity.
Fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) diluted to half strength approximately every 4 to 6 weeks during the spring and summer. Reduce the frequency during the fall and winter as with all other plants!
Dischidia platyphylla has a compact root system and does not usually require frequent repotting. Repot only when the plant is -really- cramped in its pot.
