No tips for you…. just here to say that’s the coolest looking leaf I’ve ever seen! Looks like lightning ⚡️

It’s actually called a lightning jewel orchid ⚡️ thank you I’m obsessed with it lol

#### Lindsey replied on 2024-08-10

Aptly named, I would say! I’m equally as obsessed! 😍

Sorry, I have no tips, I’m new to plants, but I just want to say this is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve never seen anything like it! 🤩🤩🤩

#### Nate replied on 2024-08-10

No problem, I saw it in the shop and knew I had to get it. Apparently they flower too!

I’ve never owned one of these yet, so don’t take my word for it, but I’ve heard that these like higher humidity and make great terrarium plants

I have had one of these for about two months, so take any advice with a grain of salt. I have mine in a mix of sphagnum moss, perlite, and orchid bark. It’s in a weather stripped ikea greenhouse that gets 65%+ humidity all day and it’s inches from a grow light. I water when the moss gets crunchy. I believe they are crawlers and like high humidity. I believe I read that they are commonly terrarium plants.

Very inventive; such a cool idea! 🤗💚🪴

Thanks!

Little update I made a terrarium out of an old spider enclosure I have. Nothing too special but should create humidity. Thanks!
