Ludisia discolor var. nigrescens

Common Name: Black Jewel Orchid

Ludisia discolor var. nigrescens is a true standout among jewel orchids, featuring deep coffee-colored leaves etched with fine, shimmering veins that catch the light in classic jewel-orchid fashion. In winter, it sends up elegant spikes of delicate white flowers, adding a graceful contrast to its dark, velvety foliage. Compact and adaptable, this variety thrives in terrariums or warm, humid indoor spaces, making it both a conversation piece and an easy long-term companion. Native to Southeast Asia.
