Jewel Orchid (Ludisia discolor) – 2–3” Starter

Low Light | Velvety Leaves | Collector Favorite

Not your average orchid. The Jewel Orchid (Ludisia discolor) trades showy blooms for something even more stunning: deep, velvety leaves with glowing copper or pink pinstripes that shimmer in the light.

This terrestrial orchid (yep, it grows in soil) is perfect for lower-light conditions and brings major texture and richness to any space. It’s compact, slow-growing, and ideal for terrariums, desktops, or that spot you’re tired of pretending gets “enough light.”

This listing is for a 2–3” rooted starter — fully established and ready to grow into a showpiece. Don’t let the word “orchid” scare you. This one’s easygoing, humidity-tolerant, and surprisingly resilient.

Care Tips:

  • Low to medium indirect light

  • Keep soil lightly moist (never soggy)

  • Likes humidity but tolerates average indoor air

  • Fertilize monthly in growing season for best leaf color

Plant nerd bonus: Unlike most orchids, Ludisia grows from a creeping rhizome and can be easily propagated by division. It’s a long-term collector’s plant, not a one-season wonder.

Shipped with care in protective packaging. Always healthy, always rooted.
