I put Baby's Tears into my macodes petola jewel orchid terrarium and I really like how it's looking! I hope it spreads well, I think it'll make a really nice and delicate carpet plant especially once the orchids get significantly larger.

Almost two months ago, I found this little baby, which I believe was growing somewhere among one of my other plants. Or maybe the moss I collect for my terrariums.
I'm not sure what it is, does anyone know? Tell me if you know! It looks like some kind of clover, but I'm not quite sure. I have added it to my little Jewel Orchid dome. It looks cute.

Macodes petola

The most amazing fantasy like plant I've ever seen. Sparks, color gradient, and looks like it glows.
To post on a brighter note.

Except for cutting back the moss every few months and spraying once a week, there is not much to do.
As it looks, the Macodes Petola will even start to bloom soon. 🌱
You can find the video about the set-up of this Wabi-Kusa on my YouTube channel.

Njega dragulj orhideje (macodes petola) Macodes petola ili dragulj orhideja ima zadivljujuće lišće koje izgleda kao da doslovno svijetli. Iako nije najjednostavnija sobna biljka za zadovoljiti, uz pravilnu njegu može napredovati i natjerati ljude da pričaju. U ovom ćemo člank... #Njegasobnihbiljaka #Sobnebiljke

I am so freaking feral about orchids, you guys, please help. QQ It's becoming a problem. Anyway, meet my orchids:
This is my favorite phalaenopsis orchid in terms of color! I just really love the wine-red splotches on a white flower. Apparently this particular sort is a very prolific bloomer and is always shooting up spikes. I've only had her for a week or so and just repotted her recently, so I look forward to finding out!
This is my most recent acquisition - I got her for a measly $7 (pot included) at Lowes because the entire spike except for this very very bottom flower had been snapped off at some point! I've good luck re-blooming phals and I really love the soft violet and orange color combination, so I had to nab her.
THIS orchid, on the other hand, I have had since last November, and she is still holding onto the same flowers, which seems absolutely insane to me. In fact, I'm pretty convinced that the flowers that she did drop, she would still have if I hadn't given faulty instructions to my plant-sitter, which led to her and another orchid getting dehydrated and dropping half their blooms. Eight months of blooms! And no signs of stopping! And she's growing plenty of healthy new roots AND a new leaf!! I love her and I love how bright and cheery her flowers are.
These are my last two phalaenopsis orchids. The one on the left is a miniature that blooms purple. She's bloomed twice for me, but she was double-potted with a second orchid, and I was inexperienced and killed a lot of her roots while repotting her, so she's been recovering from that for like half a year. If you look closely, you can see that she's actually just started growing a new leaf, which I'm really excited for!
On the right is a very classic white phal that my mom gifted me. She's also bloomed twice for me, and is also in the middle of growing a new leaf. :)

These are my two oncidium orchids, which have since been repotted and mostly lost their blooms! I got the one on the left also heavily discounted because her blooms were already falling, but as you can see in the photo, she's literally in the middle of growing a new flower spike, haha. The one on the right is currently almost done blooming, and she might be my favorite of all because she's SUPER fragrant and smells amazing!
This is my Ludisia discolor, a terrestrial jewel orchid that I'm really excited to see unfurl her new leaf! She's in a lower-light area of my house and I'm hoping she does well there. If not, I have a different shelf I can move her to later with artificial lights.
And these are some baby Macodes petola cuttings I bought, lightning jewel orchids! The reason people grow them for their foliage is a little more visible in photos than it is with Ludisias, but still not true to real life - the white patterns on both actively sparkle under light! It honestly looks like they've been doused in glitter. These guys are all in sphagnum moss in hopes of rooting them. The cuttings were honestly much smaller than I thought they'd be when I bought them, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm keeping them under a glass cloche for humidity as well!
And that's it! Just wait until my violets and streptocarpus start blooming, though, haha. I just. Really love plants.

Light shining on macodes petola. Probably to be avoided since it doesn’t like direct sunlight, but it sure does look nice.

Welp, I think it’s safe to say she survived the winter. What’s a dormancy?
Who needs that when you have some LED lights and all the water you want? She started crawling out of her pot last month or so.
Macodes petola, 11 months later.
#plants#houseplants#jewel orchid#macodes petola#plantblr#too many plants? yes!#leaf break#if you don’t wanna see plants just block the tag#since I will probably never quit posting#anyway I love this little sparkle child#should repot and prop this spring#my humidity is terrible here and she just doesn’t care#so long as she isn’t allowed to completely dry out or get too cold#I’m cheating by using lights in winter

And this is Momo, a Macodes petola! (I was gonna wait buying her until my fate at the end of my trial period was decided one way or another - either as celebration or as consolation - but the species started to go out of stock at the webshops I kept my eyes on, so I quickly snagged one.
This is one of those plants photos can't do justice. Those electric green weins? They sparkle, and have little gold specks in them. 'Jewel orchid' is not a fancyfully exaggerating name, it's simply stating facts.

First is 2020 in June, second is today 2022 November. I did cut him when he had false spider mites as I was thinking he wouldn’t make it but he did, and so did the cutting (the one on the right) so yay!
