First picture is from July 23 2021 and the second if from today August 7 (it looks brighter than it actually is).
Ludisia feels like one those plants and gets weird and leggy after awhile, the stems will snake around in the pot similar to an iris and I thought that maybe I should start again so I did. I took a glass bowl, some leca at the bottom and them moss and I just stuck a bunch of the leggy pieces from the mother plant into the moss. I let the moss dry a little before I water. Sometimes I I spray the moss a little to make sure it’s evenly moist. The fun part of the glass pot is that you can see all the new growth making it’s way through the moss.
I recommend to start them over at times. I want to do a similar one with macodes but I don’t have enough of that at the moment.

Next up in Orchids in Bloom:
My Jewel Orchid (Ludisia discolor).
Unlike a lot of other orchids this one can and should be planted in soil.
I've had multiple pots of this one, because they are also very easy to multiply with cuttings. I tend to give them away as presents now and then.
They also unfailingly bloom around Christmas every year. Unfortunately they don't really have a scent.
The shiny velvety leaves are beautiful all year round.

First is 2020 in June, second is today 2022 November. I did cut him when he had false spider mites as I was thinking he wouldn’t make it but he did, and so did the cutting (the one on the right) so yay!

Good old Ludisia discolor, except that I’ve only had this plant a couple months and it is quite young.
