Ludisia discolor (nakit orhideja)

Ludisia discolor is a very special orchid, with velvety leaves and small white flowers that give the plant a unique appearance. Also known as the diamond or ruby orchid, Ludisia is not demanding at all and adapts very easily to any environment.
This botanical orchid species is widely distributed, from northern India to Southeast Asia, north of southwest China, and south to Malaysia and Indonesia. In China, it inhabits swampy forest areas at altitudes between 950 – 1000 m, in the provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan. There are reports of the species from many mountainous regions in Vietnam, from Cha Pa in the north to Dalat in the south, but only one location includes altitude indications, with the species found at 1200 m.
Currently, two variants of the species are known: Ludisia discolor “Alba,” an albino variety, and Ludisia discolor “Nigricens,” a mutation commonly known as “black velvet.”
Note: Be careful, the stems of this variety are very sensitive.
