Jewel orchid Ludiscia Discolour 100mm -Anoectochillus roxburghii X Ludisia discolor

Ludisia discolor, commonly known as the Jewel Orchid, is a truly unique plant admired not for flashy flowers, but for its richly textured, deep burgundy-green leaves with delicate, coppery-pink veining. A ground-dwelling orchid native to Southeast Asia, it brings a sense of luxury and calm to shaded interiors, thriving in the same conditions that make other orchids struggle.

Main Features:

• Velvety dark foliage with fine, shimmering veins
• Produces elegant white flowers on tall spikes in late autumn to winter
• Grows low and spreading—ideal for shelves, terrariums, or shaded plant corners
• A true foliage gem that stands out in any plant collection
• Non-toxic and pet-friendly compared to many traditional orchids

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers low to medium indirect light—perfect for lower-light rooms. Avoid direct sun.
• Water: Keep the soil lightly moist, never soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.
• Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity (50–70%). Great for bathrooms, or mist regularly.
• Soil: Use a loose, airy orchid or aroid mix with good drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor conditions (18°C–25°C). Avoid cold drafts.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted orchid fertilizer. Reduce in winter.
