Ludisia Discolor 'Sea Turtle' Jewel Orchid

Meet 'Sea Turtle', the jewel orchid that brings beach vibes straight to your plant shelf. This rare Ludisia cultivar is prized for its dark, velvety green leaves traced with shimmering veins that resemble the shell pattern of—you guessed it—a sea turtle. Unlike typical orchids, this beauty is grown for its foliage, not its blooms (though it will reward you with delicate white flowers if you’re lucky).

‘Sea Turtle’ thrives in low to medium light and doesn’t demand high humidity, making it a gem for terrariums, desktops, or cozy corners where other houseplants pout. It grows in a low, spreading habit and creates an elegant, almost moss-like carpet of opulence wherever it’s planted.

Plant Features:

• Light: Low to medium indirect light. Perfect for bookshelves, bedrooms, and other softly lit spaces
• Water: Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry
  
• Humidity: Comfortable in standard home humidity but thrives in slightly more humid environments. Ideal range: 65–80°F
  
• Growth: Low and spreading. Excellent for terrariums, shallow planters, or as a luxurious groundcover in mixed arrangements.
