A video on Ludisia discolor which is a type of Jewel Orchid, also called a Precious Orchid in some parts of the world. We cover the history, the etymology of its names, cultivation, propagation and more. Subscribe if you'd like to keep in touch. I have Ludisia cuttings rooting that will need new homes 🙃 I'd love to meet other plant nerds to trade with 🍃
