I've had one of these for 35 years or so. As long as I don't overwater, it thrives. I've shared with everybody who wanted a cutting and even mailed cuttings to friends and they survived. All of my plants create a cozy atmosphere in my small apartment. ❤
That's amazing to hear about your plant thriving for 35 years! My oldest plant is 35 years old too. Sharing cuttings with friends and creating a cozy atmosphere in your apartment with your plants sounds wonderful. They must bring you so much joy! 🌿❤️
My Ludisia discolor orchid hangs outside and thrives during growth season but something eats at its leaves, possibly a grasshopper, 🤷♀️. Would you recommend I cut those leaves from the plant or just leave them? Thank you!
If the damage to the leaves is minor and the plant is still thriving, it’s generally best to leave the leaves on, as they can still help with photosynthesis. However, if the damage is significant and affecting the plant's overall health, you might consider trimming the damaged leaves to prevent any potential pests from spreading. Just make sure to use clean, sharp scissors when you cut to avoid introducing any infections. Also, keep an eye out for the grasshopper or any other pests, and consider using insecticidal soap or neem oil if the problem persists. Good luck!
Yes, if the roots are healthy it will start producing new leaves; place it in a bright spot without direct sunlight, continue watering and give it some time.
Weirdly enough I had mine in a VERRY long and thin pot And it THRIVED !! It made lots of babies I have 5 babies of that plant and had no drainage it’s weird! Could it be a different species it’s exactly the same as yours? Except it has a red stem
It's wonderful to hear that your Ludisia thrived in its unique pot! The absence of drainage might seem unusual, but plants can sometimes adapt surprisingly well to their environment. The presence of babies indicates that it's been happy and healthy. I think it is the same. Thanks for sharing your experience 🍃🙏♡
I need help with mine pleaseeee!🙏🏻 I got it as a gift from a friend and it was hugeeee (I couldn’t look at its roots but the branches are super bound and leaves have started to get super red and dry!) The substrate still feels humid and the house has a 50-70% humidity and it’s doing bad both in shade and indirect light… (I kept it the first two weeks in a very bright indirect light spot). Is there anything I can do?🥹
Of course! It sounds like your Ludisia discolor needs a little TLC. Since the roots are bound, you might want to gently repot it into a slightly larger pot with fresh orchid mix to help with aeration. Also, make sure you're not overwatering; letting the top inch of the substrate dry out before watering again is a good idea. For lighting, it might be best to find a spot with bright, filtered light or some dappled sunlight, since it seems to struggle in both shade and indirect light. Your humidity levels are great, but ensuring there's some airflow around the plant can help, as stagnant air can lead to issues. Keep an eye on the leaves, and I hope these changes make a difference for your orchid! Let me know how it goes!
@@PlantHouseGarden thanks for your answer! 1) what’s TLC? 2) as for watering I found out it was the opposite problem, the soil looked moist but it was completely dry…. Completely my fault! 3) as for Repotting… it’s already too big… can’t I chop it? I already tried propagating one, but the branch did not grow back… is there no way to trim it without damage? Now it’s very bad looking (maybe light is another issue - I tried moving it… hope this works) but some branches looked dry and worn out… can I eliminate them in any way? I would any any other plant but I feel afraid with this one..> Thanks again!!!!

Good jobs
Thank you 🤗🤍
Great info! I’m very interested in the pot you repotted yours in. Where did you get it?
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I bought this collection of pots in Italy a few years ago... I haven't seen them in the US. 💚

Link to pot please
I'm sorry, the pots are very old, I bought them long time ago in a local nursery 🥹
I live in India. In summer temperatures can reach upto 40°C. What do I need to do differently for the jewel orchids?
Maybe you should water them more frequently, check how quickly it dries.
If it loses all the leaves will it still survive & eventually have new growth?
