Dioscorea
Dioscorea "Pink Lemonade"
Dioscorea ‘Pink Lemonade’ is an absolute jaw-dropper! Her leaves can display an incredible array of colors: pink, blush, orange, yellow, and lemon-lime. She’s also been a fast grower just like most Dioscorea. They love to climb, they love to intertwine, and apparently… they love to hold hands.
- Variegation: lemon-lime, orange, yellow, and vivid pink on emergent growth
- Leaves: elongated heart-shaped
- Growth Habit: Climbing plant that benefits from a trellis
- Rarity: relatively new to the Dioscorea world, and even newer in the states. A must-have for collectors.
*Grower's Choice: you will receive a similar plant to the pictures that is established and fully acclimated to ambient conditions plant with 4-6 leaves.*

Light:
- Bright, indirect light (too much direct light may scorch; low light may reduce variegation)

Temperature/Humidity:
- Prefers warmer temperatures between 70-80 degree F
- Prefers moderate to high humidity (60%+ ideal) but can tolerate ambient
- This plant specifically is growing in ambient conditions (74 temp/56% humidity)
Soil:
- Well-draining aroid mix (chunky, airy substrate recommended), but they also do very well in perlite/fluval or pon.
