D. prolifera, like its cousins D. schizandra and D. adelae, comes from the tropical rainforests of North Queensland in Australia.
Watering :
Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosed water.
Never allow the substrate to dry out.
Water that is too hard will cause the plant to wither in a few weeks.
Do not use bottled water, it usually contains too many mineral salts, which are harmful to the plant.
