It is closely related to popular hoyas (wax plants) and climbs tree trunks in the jungles of Southeast Asia. This species stands out with a completely unique appearance – its leaves are round, distinctly flat, firm, and thick-filled. As it grows, the leaves tend to overlap closely and flatly, resembling green armor, roof tiles, or large exotic coins. The leaf surface has a pleasant, matte apple-green tone that looks exceptionally fresh and modern. This is a beautifully matured, strong, and lush \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"638\"\u003e25-30 cm\u003c\/b\u003e tall plant in a larger \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"666\"\u003e14 cm\u003c\/b\u003e pot.

For the dihīdija to maintain its vivid green tone and lush, dense leaf rows, it needs a large amount of light (it will especially enjoy the gentle morning or late evening sun rays).

It is important to know nature’s secrets: dihīdijas naturally grow as climbing epiphytes. If you provide a flat surface (such as tree bark or a board), its leaves will grow flat and closely against the support. If you grow it as a hanging plant, the leaves will keep their flat shape, but the shoots will flow freely and elegantly downwards.
