Ludisia Discolor Jewel Orchid 2 Exact Live Starter Plants

This listing includes 2 exact Ludisia discolor Jewel Orchid live starter plants. This is an exact-plant listing, meaning you will receive the specific starter plants pictured rather than plants selected only for similarity.

Ludisia discolor, commonly called Jewel Orchid, is a terrestrial orchid prized primarily for its ornamental foliage. Its dark, velvety leaves typically display contrasting veins, giving the plant a distinctive appearance even when it is not flowering. It has a compact, spreading growth habit suitable for indoor container culture.

Because these are actively growing exact specimens, the plants may gain or lose leaves between photography and shipment. Current leaf count, foliage condition, and overall appearance may therefore differ somewhat from the listing photographs while remaining the same pictured plants.

Shipping Disclosure: The supplied information contains conflicting shipping details. The exact-plant description states that the plants are shipped in a pot, while the general shipping notice states that 2-inch nursery pots are not included and plants are shipped bare root. Confirm the actual shipping format before publishing. The plants are described as starter plants, but no unsupported pot-included claim has been used below.

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.

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
• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles
• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant

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

Claims submitted without required photos may not be eligible for review.

Claims submitted more than 48 hours after delivery will be considered accepted as received and may not be eligible for replacement or refund.
