Dischidia

Dischidia - has a very special home: a real snail shell from the rice fields of Thailand. After the harvest the empty shells remain in the fields and serve this attractive plant as a second home. Ethically sourced and not a snail was harmed in the making of this gorgeous arrangement. 

Dischidia grows thick hollow leaves, that serve as ant-shelters, hence the common name 'Ant Plant'
It will also grow very pretty white-pink flowers during the Spring and Summer.

Size: 11cm (w)

Height: 40cm

Care advice and additional information

Water - Water by removing the plant from the vase and submerging the shell fully into water, ideally rain water, for 10 minutes. Remove and place back into vase.
