Shingle Plant – Jungle Beauty, Lush, Layered

Dischidia imbricata, also called the Shingle Plant, creates a living mosaic with overlapping, glossy “shingle” leaves that cling to mounts or cascade from hanging baskets. It’s textural and space-smart, i.e. perfect for compact, modern, or boho interiors and vertical garden displays.

Plant Personality & Aesthetic Appeal

Shingle Plant’s most capturing trait is its tightly overlapping, succulent-like leaves that lay flat along thin stems, creating a scalloped, scale-like appearance. Leaves are glossy, thick, and often slightly cupped, giving tactile depth and subtle light reflection. This makes Dischidia imbricata a standout in hanging baskets, mounted on cork or wood, or trained up a shallow trellis. The plant looks particularly refined, cascading from high shelves or in a vertical planter, where its patterned foliage can be admired at eye level.

Growth Habit & Size Potential

The Shingle Plant could grow trails 50 to 150 cm, depending on light and support, with individual leaves 1 to 3 cm wide and 1 to 4 cm long. It is an epiphytic climber that naturally hugs surfaces rather than sprawling freely, so it’s best trained to follow a mount or narrow pole. It is a moderate grower; new growth springs quickly in warm, humid seasons and slows in cooler months. Repot sparingly; use shallow pots or mount on bark to mirror its native habit. For a fuller wall effect, mount several cuttings close together to encourage a dense carpet of leaves.

Light & Location Needs

Dischidia imbricata thrives in bright, indirect light. Filtered morning sun from an east or north-east window is ideal; avoid harsh afternoon sun that can scorch the small leaves. It tolerates medium light but will grow more slowly and may lose compactness in very low light. Well-lit bathrooms, bright kitchens, and sheltered balconies (non-frost climates) suit it well. If mounted, place where dappled light reaches the foliage; for hanging baskets, keep a few metres back from intense panes or use sheer curtains.

Care Level & Maintenance Tips

Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of the medium is dry, that’s typically every 7 to 14 days indoors, depending on humidity and temperature. Use a free-draining epiphyte mix (bark, coco chips, perlite) or an airy potting blend; mounts prefer light moss or no soil with occasional misting. Provide humidity above 50% for the best leaf texture. Feed lightly with balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every 6 to 8 weeks during active growth. Avoid waterlogging and cold drafts. Propagate easily from stem cuttings placed on mounting wood or in a moist medium. Non-toxic to most households, but check if you have sensitive pets.

Dischidia Imbricata Plant: Shingle and Ready to Mingle

Adding a Shingle Plant warms indoor spaces with gentle texture and living pattern that supports mental calm and visual interest. Its compact, layered leaves create a subtle focal point that reduces visual monotony and can make work or relaxation areas feel fresher and more composed. As an epiphyte with moderate transpiration, it slightly increases local humidity, which can ease dry air irritation in heated rooms. Caring for a tactile plant like Dischidia Imbricata, like watering, checking mounts, and gentle pruning, offers a short, mindful ritual that boosts mood and focus.

Awesome. Simply Awesome.
Format: Hardcover
I have been a fan of the show since I watched the premiere of it all those years ago. The first episode had me hooked and I was so sad to see it end. I bought the dvds immediately and while those are just as good, I still felt like I was missing some of the artwork that went into the show. I saw this book and thought about getting it, but wasn't entirely convinced when I looked at the preview. It looked cool thats for sure, but it didn't really show what was in the book and I did not want a book of still shots from the show. On a whim I bought it because my curiosity was to much to handle and I am so glad I did! It is not a bunch of still shots from the show, but delves into how they went through the process of getting the show on the air, the gradual development of the avatar world including the characters, bending and cross-bred animals, and how the story continually evolved until the final chapter. And with each step of the way there are concept drawings by Bryan Konietzko and other equally talented artists that really allow you to dive into their imagination and creativity. Each page was a constant struggle between staying on the page and examining every drawing or hurrying onto the next page. And of course the creative charge that it gives you is insane because all you want to do afterwards is draw, draw, draw! I would not recommend this book to people who want to get to work on time because I know I was late for the following days. In summary, if you love the animated series or animation in general- don't even think about it and get this book right now. You won't be sorry you did. I know I'm not!

Beautiful Art and Great Insight for All Fans
Format: Hardcover
I'm a huge fan of the series. Not just for the story, character depth or enticing music.. but the art. It's what hooked me the first episode I saw. I mean, c'mon, you can't deny how gorgeous the premiere looked! So yes, I JUMPED at the opportunity to grab a copy of this baby. The cover is quality. Then you open up to the map of the Avatar world followed by an introduction given by M. Night... And then, the revealings of Avatar's beginnings come to light. One of the things I have to stress about this book is the amount of insight about the behind the scenes work. For the fans who want to know how this deep story came to light, they tell you and they don't hold back. Everything from insights on the difference between American Animation studios and Asian Animation studios to momo going from a robotic monkey to a lemur explained.. It's really great and helped me appreciate the show a lot more. This makes up the first of five chapters. After this, it comes on to highlight sketches from each episode in chapters made up of each season. Some explained in depth, such as "Jet" and "The Blue Spirit" and others just illustrations with very minimal explanation, such as "The Deserter". (Season one). They include small extras about the DVD covers and the chibi Avatar animations as well. The artwork is beautifully colored and high quality ensured. It looks absolutely great. My only nitpick about the book is how short it feels. At times, I wanted more artwork and more details, or wanted some of the art featured to be larger so I can gasp at the details. All in all though, this book really shows how much thought, love and care was put in and the vast amount of talent of those who worked on it. Boy do they have talent. The art speaks for itself. Even friends who aren't fans of the show loved looking through the book. A must buy for any fan or anyone interested in this line of work for that matter. Go! Buy it! The Avatar will blow you away! Eh heh...

Best Supplemental Book EVER!
Format: Hardcover
This is probably the best Avatar related product I ever bought apart from the three seasons that comprise the series. The book details everything you would want to hear about especially if you are interested in "Behind the Scenes" things like I am. This book details pretty much the entire production process. It features how Bending was inspired, early character designs, story ideas, even how they came up with the hybrid animals. I love how the creators talk about each character, and every single episode is talked about in this book, even if they only take a page to talk about. This book impressed me beyond words. I loved each page, each drawing, some of the early work on Iroh looks really cool. If you are a fan of the animated series this will make a phenomenal addition to your collection of Avatar related memorabilia. It's a wonderful book and I plan to read it many more times. If I could put one criticism to this book it would be that there is no explanation of where Zuko's mom went but I can live with that until the next comic book comes out.

Gorgeous.
Format: Hardcover
This artbook is utterly beautiful. When I first tore open the box and laid my eyes upon the product, I literally gasped in amazement. After watching The Last Airbender movie, simply thinking about Avatar filled my body with disgust and made my gag reflex quite sensitive. I couldn't even watch the show without having terrifying flashbacks of the disgraceful film. Thankfully, looking at this book reopened my eyes to the sheer brilliance of the true series. Every single word written in this book is basically pie for an avatard like me. Bottom line: I ate it all up. And I loved it. This book is filled with details about the series, how the makers came up with their ideas, what inspired them, and so much more. What REALLY put the icing on the cake is the artwork (duh h4x0rzzzzz, it's an artbook). Every little pencil sketch, drawing, painting, left me in awe. So stunning! Most of the time when I buy books, I'll read/look at them once or twice and then it spends the rest of its book-life sitting on my bookshelf, collecting book-dust. I can guarantee you that this is a treasure that won't have the opportunity to sit still. Definitely worth the buy!

Must Have for All Fans!
Format: Hardcover
This book is wonderful! If you are a fan of the show, it is indeed a "must have." As an artist, I was also hoping for a lot of character designs so I could have accuracy if I decided to make some fanart, and this is chock full of character designs. It has every last costume each main character or secondary character wore as well as designs for all of the people you see milling about the background of the episodes. There are beautiful samples of environments, building designs, and production artwork as well, and many humorous little notes jotted here and there next to the art. There are even images of the Wanted Posters and a certain Waterbending Scroll. ;) They go into detail about the creations of the characters, go over episodes, and give you a lot of fun trivia to know. So if you are an artist also looking for some reference material(this had all I was hoping for and tons more) or you just want a ton of fun facts and nice images to look at, you will not be disappointed!
