Jewel Orchid 3"
🌿 JEWEL ORCHID (Ludisia discolor)
Proof that flowers aren't everything. Jewel Orchids are grown for their stunning foliage rather than their blooms, featuring deep green to nearly black leaves accented with shimmering metallic veins. Elegant, unique, and surprisingly easy to care for, this plant is a must-have for anyone who appreciates beautiful foliage.
Why you'll love it:
• Stunning velvety foliage with shimmering veins
• Rare and unique appearance
• Easy-care orchid that's grown for its leaves
• Compact size perfect for shelves and desks
• Produces delicate white flowers when mature ✨
Care Instructions:
☀️ Light: Low to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade their rich coloring.
💧 Water: Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry.
💦 Humidity: Moderate to high humidity preferred, but adapts well to average household conditions.
🏡 Indoor/Outdoor: Best grown indoors. Can be grown outdoors in warm, humid climates in a protected, shaded location.
🐾 Pet Safe: Yes. Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
🌱 Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Plant Parent Pro Tip:
Unlike most orchids, Jewel Orchids grow in soil rather than bark. They're much more forgiving than their flowering orchid cousins and are happiest when treated more like a tropical houseplant than a traditional orchid. 🌿✨🤎
