Dischidia hirsuta is a small epiphytic vine from Southeast Asia with succulent, hairy leaves and small flowers ranging from pale yellow to dark red. Grow it like other Dischidia: bright, humid conditions, mounted on bark or in a fast-draining epiphyte mix, with careful watering.
Dischidia hirsuta is a species of plant in the genus Dischidia. It is widely distributed in Southeast Asia from Thailand through Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and continuing to the Solomon Islands. It grows as an epiphyte and its name refers to its often hirsute foliage covered in fine hairs, though the species has variable foliage and flowers throughout its range. Its succulent leaves may be lanceolate to more rounded, and are sometimes covered with red spots. The flowers range from pale yellow to dark red.
