Jewel orchid Ludisia Discolor or Discolor 'Alba'

Ludisia Discolor is a beautiful jewel orchid, just like its fellow species. It has reddish leaves (the 'Alba' form has green leaves) with a velvety shimmer and bright, glaring, light green veins running through them. These look very similar to a spider's web. This plant tends to grow in width rather than height, i.e. it "creeps" on the surface of the soil. Jewel orchids need the right care in order to impress with their beautiful appearance:

Location: Medium brightness is sufficient

Water requirements: The substrate should be kept constantly slightly(!) moist

Humidity: Jewel orchids feel very comfortable in high humidity (approx. 70%), they are very suitable for keeping in terrariums

Toxicity: Non-toxic
