Dischidia pectenoides
An unusual and eye-catching epiphyte with trailing stems and paired, pouch-like leaves that resemble miniature water pitchers. These modified leaves help the plant store water and host beneficial ants in the wild. It occasionally produces small, reddish-pink flowers and makes a fascinating hanging houseplant.
- Other names: Ant Plant, Pitcher Plant Dischidia, Dischidia 'Geri'
- Useful to know: Non-toxic and pet safe
- Eventual height: Trailing up to 60cm or more
- Origins: Philippines and Southeast Asia
