The Jewel Orchid, scientifically known as Ludisia Discolor, is a truly unique and captivating addition to any plant collection, prized not for its flowers, but for its striking foliage. Unlike many of its orchid cousins, this beauty is terrestrial, naturally growing with its roots firmly in the ground in the lush forests of Southeast Asia. The Jewel Orchid’s dark, velvety leaves, adorned with intricate golden or red veins, are sure to steal the spotlight in any indoor space.
Features:
- Exquisite Foliage: The dark brown to crimson leaves of the Jewel Orchid are its main attraction. Each leaf is marked with delicate, shimmering veins of gold or red, creating a jewel-like appearance that is nothing short of mesmerizing.
- Subtle Blooms: While the Jewel Orchid can produce small white flowers on long, upright stems, these blooms are secondary to its stunning foliage. Flowering typically occurs in autumn or winter, but it can happen at any time of year, especially when placed in a cooler spot.
- Terrestrial Growth: Unlike most orchids, which are epiphytic, Ludisia Discolor thrives as a terrestrial plant. This means it’s perfectly suited to grow in soil, making it easier to care for compared to other orchid species.

This orchid prefers low to medium indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. A spot with bright, filtered light will keep its foliage vibrant and healthy.
Water
Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During its growing season, it appreciates higher humidity, which can be achieved with regular misting or by placing it near a humidifier.
Growing Media
Growing Media
Use a well-draining, airy potting mix, such as a blend of orchid bark, peat, and perlite. A shallow, wide container works best, allowing its creeping rhizomes to spread comfortably.
