Ludisia Discolor ‘Jewelryana,’ also known as the Jewel Orchid, is an exquisite variety prized for its rich, velvety dark green to nearly black leaves, adorned with intricate, coppery-pink veining. Unlike other orchids, this species is valued for its foliage rather than its blooms, though it does produce small white flowers on delicate spikes. This orchid is relatively easy to care for and adds a sophisticated, jewel-like touch to any plant collection.
Water Requirements:
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure the pot has good drainage. Ludisia Discolor enjoys high humidity, so misting or placing it near a humidifier is beneficial for maintaining its lush foliage.
Light Requirements:
This plant thrives in low to moderate, indirect light, making it ideal for lower-light areas in the home. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn and damage its delicate foliage.
Pet Safety:
Ludisia Discolor is generally considered non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for homes with animals.
