Ludisia discolor ‘Spiderman’ (Jewel Orchid)

Ludisia discolor ‘Spiderman’ displays rich, velvety maroon leaves etched with a striking web-like network of vivid red veins that evoke its namesake. The bold contrast between the dark foliage and scarlet patterning creates a dramatic, eye-catching effect that stands out among Jewel Orchids.

Country of Origin: Southeast Asia

Temperature: 18–26 °C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 12 °C.

Care: Easy (with minor attention to humidity)

Light: Low to medium indirect light (they’re understory plants in nature).

Humidity: Prefer moderate to high humidity (50–80%), but can adapt to typical indoor levels if not too dry.

Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.

Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.

This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.

Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.

A tissue culture vessel is a sterile, transparent container (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.

These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy and contaminant-free until they're ready to transition to standard growing conditions.

Quick Hardening Steps:

1. Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
2. Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
3. Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
4. Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
5. Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
