Jewel Orchid - Ludisia discolor
Wellspring Classic Series ㅤ| ㅤSTARTER-SIZED PLANT
Elevate your plant collection with Ludisia discolor, widely known as the Jewel Orchid—one of the few terrestrial orchids grown primarily for its spellbinding foliage rather than just its blooms. Native to the forest floors of Southeast Asia, this houseplant features deep burgundy to near-black velvety leaves detailed with intricate, pinstriped veins of copper, red, and shimmering gold.
While its dramatic leaves capture attention year-round, Ludisia discolor also delights in winter by producing tall, delicate spikes of dainty white flowers with bright yellow centers, creating a striking contrast against its dark, rich canopy

We sell baby plants
Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.
How tall are baby plants?
We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.
What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?
The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
