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 357 reviewsMican’s are now my new favorite. I live in SC and the package was delivered in perfect shape. It was secure in the box. It’s currently doing great!
I love the tiny versions of things and this lil plant is no exception! Its beautiful! Arrived in perfect condition and was packaged wonderfully!
Received my stunning alocasia in just a few days and she’s adjusting nicely! I opted in for the safe weather shipping and it was packed well. I’ll definitely order from the rooted plant shop again. All because my TIK tok page told me to use 70% alcohol (which is a collection saving trick!)!!
This shop is top notch! Every plant arrives with perfect shipping care. If you follow the shop on social media you’ll learn so much!
Awesome plant , arrived very healthy and happy.
I love how my plants were so well packaged and arrived undamaged
I've had a lot of plants in my life, but this is probably the most unusual I've tried! I've also had quite a few real stones in my life as I grew up in a small family-owned gravel pit business! Melanie is so easy to work with, it is pleasure supporting her business.
