Dischidia
Bright, indirect light is best; avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves.
Allow the top of the soil or mounting medium to dry slightly between waterings.
Feed monthly with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
Repot or remount every 1–2 years or when overgrown; best done in spring.

Non-toxic and generally safe for pets.
