Care information

Hypothetically could work as a shingling terrarium plant, but more commonly grown in hanging baskets as a houseplant.

I don't work with Hoya or Dischidia much, but I have a few and they keep growing on me so I'll offer some cuttings here and there. What I do know is they like consistent warmth, good moisture BUT with very porous soil media similar to the "chunky Aroid mix" of #4 perlite, cocochip, charcoal, etc.

Rooting hormone and a sphagnum prop-box is how I'd root these, but I'm sure there are many other good ways.

You'll receive a similar, non-exact cutting of similar size, as seen in photo 2.

Plant Details
Airflow
Medium — Essential for "wetish" setups. Needs regular air exchange or internal circulation fans to prevent water from sitting on leaves, which helps avoid rot and fungal issues.
Family
Apocynaceae
Growth strategy
Epiphyte
Humidity
60–80% — Suitable for "open-top" or partially ventilated terrariums. While higher than average household humidity, these plants are adaptable and less prone to leaf melt if the environment fluctuates slightly.
Lighting
Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH
5.5–6.5 — Acidic (Optimal): The “Goldilocks” zone for most tropical terrarium plants, including Marcgravia. This range ensures maximum nutrient availability and mimics the natural decomposition of leaf litter on the rainforest floor.

Size
Medium
Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Dry Between — Epiphytic or succulent-type growth that requires the substrate or mounting surface to dry out significantly between mistings to prevent root death.
World
Old World — Native to the Eastern Hemisphere: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and surrounding islands.
