The urn plant is a real eye-catcher and a good climber. With its long offshoots, the plant attaches itself everywhere. It blooms with beautiful red flowers. Ideal as a houseplant or terrarium plant in warm, humid temperatures. As a houseplant it tolerates a bright location but not direct sun.

Dischidia owes its common name, urn plant, to the fact that its fleshy, water-storing leaves can grow into almost balloon-like spheres, which, along with its tiny rosy red flowers, makes it an interesting eye-catcher. It can be cultivated in a hanging basket as well as kept climbing with the help of climbing aids.
