Jewel Orchid
Jewel orchids (Ludisia discolor), also known as tiger orchids, are a type of terrestrial orchids native to Southeast Asia. These easy-to-grow, low-light-tolerant orchids are prized more for their veined, iridescent foliage than for their relatively unshowy flowers. Unlike epiphytic orchids, which use their roots to cling to tree branches above the ground, Ludisia orchids grow in soil on the shady forest floor. In temperate climates, they are grown as houseplants, requiring loamy soil, lots of humidity, and bright, indirect light.
- Keep jewel orchids in a place with medium to low indirect light.
- Plant them in a loamy, well-drained potting mix.
- Water jewel orchids to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
- Feed these plants with an orchid-specific fertilizer during the growing season.

from 47 reviewsThis was my first time ordering a plant online, and I would definitely do it again!
I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.
Such a healthy, robust specimen. The color is gorgeous, a peach with pink and orange hues! The owner is a delight.
My new Money Tree was delivered in perfect condition! Very grateful for all the advice. Thank you, Melanie!
This is my favorite place to shop for my plants! I absolutely love the ease of ordering and delivery.
My plants are incredibly healthy! The owner is a delightful person and goes above and beyond for their customers.
The palm is a great addition to my collection. So grateful that Melanie has pet-friendly options. I have a new and very curious kitty! Love the delivery service too!
Customer service and knowledgeability of the plants is 10/10
Very beautiful plant. This plant exceeded my expectations. It is a bit larger than I anticipated. That is a very positive thing. Came to me very well cared for. I was pleased with my purchase.
Alocasia Polly is striking and soft at the same time. I will enjoy her for years to come
I was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
We had a great time with friends and new friends. Laughter, coffee, and Plants, BEAUTIFUL plants 🪴 ❤️
I enjoyed meeting Melanie, and she was very helpful in what I needed to do. I really appreciated having someone like her to help me! She was professional, friendly and very easy to talk to and ask questions.
Plants came beautifully packaged and fast. Each plant was healthy and a great addition to my collection. Thank you!
She arrived well packaged along with my other two plants. She is full and healthy! So glad I purchased her!
