Jewel Orchid – Macodes petola

Macodes petola, also known as the Jewel Orchid, is prized not for its flowers but for its electrifying foliage. Its velvety, dark green leaves are etched with gold lightning-like veins that seem to glow under the right light—making this plant a true gem in any collection. Compact and slow-growing, it thrives in humid, low-light environments and adds a touch of luxury to terrariums, desktops, or shaded shelves.

Unlike most orchids, this one is terrestrial and prefers to stay close to the soil. It’s a must-have for collectors, especially those looking for a plant with intricate, iridescent beauty.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Low to medium, indirect light
• Water: Keep soil lightly moist; avoid letting it fully dry out
• Humidity: High humidity is ideal—perfect for terrariums or steamy bathrooms
• Considerations: Sensitive to overwatering and cold; best grown in a well-draining orchid mix, such as our specifically designed blend for aroids and houseplants.
