3" Ludisia discolor 'Black Jewel Orchid'
This plant is currently out of stock.
Ludisia discolor, also known as 'Black Jewel Orchid' is mainly grown for its attractive foliage and not for its flowers (white are white) like most other orchids. This particular orchid has a terrestrial growth habit, growing along the top of the soil and is not epiphytic.
While this plant grows just fine as an indoor plant, Ludisia discolor grows more vigorously in a terrarium or other high humidity environment.
Caring for your new Ludisia discolor is fairly simple. Keep the soil consistenly moist, but take care not to over water as they don't like to sit in excess water. To keep the leaves the rich black color, provide your plant with low to medium indirect light.

Not one leaf scuffed or one stem uprooted. Seems to be acclimating to my house nicely.
