Ludisia discolor Jewel Orchid Starter Plants (2) Bare Root

About This Plant

Jewel Orchid (Ludisia discolor) is prized for velvety dark green leaves with shimmering metallic veins. These tissue-cultured starter plants have a compact growth habit, making them ideal for terrariums, decorative containers, and indoor tropical plant collections. Naturally slow to root, they are shipped as bare root with an original soil pod to protect the developing root system.
