Ludisia Jewel Orchid 2 Exact Live Starter Plants – Ludisia discolor

This listing includes 2 exact Ludisia discolor Jewel Orchid live starter plants. You will receive the specific plants pictured. Because live plants continue growing after photography, they may gain or lose leaves and naturally change in appearance before shipping.

Commonly known as the Jewel Orchid, Ludisia discolor is a terrestrial orchid grown especially for its ornamental foliage. Its leaves are typically dark and velvety in appearance with contrasting veins, giving it a distinctive look among commonly cultivated orchids. It develops a low, spreading to upright growth habit and is well suited to indoor container culture.

Starter Size & Shipping Disclosure: These are 2-inch nursery-pot cultivation-size starter plants. The supplied Shipping Notice states that the 2-inch nursery pots are NOT included and the plants are shipped bare root. This final shipping disclosure has been applied rather than the earlier conflicting statement that the plants will be shipped in pots.

Rooting Status: The seller states that these starter plants are not fully rooted into the 2-inch nursery pots.

Exact Plant Disclosure: You will receive the specific starter plants shown in the listing photographs. Leaf count, foliage position, coloration, and overall appearance may naturally change between photography and delivery.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Exact Plant Clarification: This is an exact-plant listing. The photographs depict the specific starter plants you will receive, subject to normal changes in foliage and appearance before shipping.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:

• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
