Its fleshy, rounded leaves form pairs that press flat against their support and overlap like shingles, often with reddish tones on the undersides. In strong light, the leaves can take on a red blush. Established plants produce clusters of small, white, urn-shaped flowers. Often called the Shingle Plant or Shingle Vine, it can be mounted on cork or bark to show off its shingling habit, or grown in a hanging pot where it trails freely, which makes it a unique indoor plant for collectors and hoya lovers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You’ll Love It ✔️\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ Shingled, succulent-like leaves – Plump, overlapping leaf pairs create a neat, scale-like pattern, and the leaves blush red in brighter light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ Mount it or hang it – It shingles beautifully up cork or bark and trails gracefully from a hanging pot, so you can display it however suits your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ A hoya relative with a twist – It’s closely related to hoyas, with the same easy-going epiphytic nature, but it offers a completely different look and dainty white flowers on established plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌞 Light: Bright indirect light keeps growth compact and encourages the reddish blush and flowering. It tolerates medium light, though growth may slow. Gentle morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e💧 Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the mix to dry out mostly before watering again. The fleshy leaves store water, so it handles short dry spells better than overwatering. Mounted plants dry out faster and need more frequent watering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e💦 Humidity: It prefers 50–60% humidity or higher. A humidifier helps, especially for mounted plants or in air-conditioned rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌡 Temperature: 18–30°C is ideal. Keep it above 15°C and away from cold draughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌱 Soil: Use a very airy, fast-draining mix with plenty of coco chip, plus coco coir \u0026amp; perlite, to suit its epiphytic roots. It can also be mounted on cork or bark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🪴 Support: Mount it on cork, bark or a flat board for the classic shingled look, or let it trail from a hanging pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is already added to the potting mix. During spring and summer, add a balanced liquid fertiliser at quarter to half strength every few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🚫 Toxicity: Toxicity is not fully confirmed. Its milky sap may irritate sensitive skin, so we recommend keeping it out of reach of pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conchophyllum imbricatum, Shingle Plant, Shingle Vine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA quirky, tactile vine for collectors who love something out of the ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uprooted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68346731233515,"sku":"DISCHIDIA-IMBRICATA","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1455\/8287\/files\/1E274EFA-8CFC-47C7-B973-9127514D44BF_1_105_c.jpg?v=1793675060","url":"https:\/\/www.uprooted.com.au\/products\/dischidia-imbricata","provider":"Uprooted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
