Ludisia discolor
This one is always in bloom. But this spike is cute, its compact and full of flowers. Enjoy.

I keep them in my terrarium, bark peat mix soil that stays very humid. The plant blooms every time it puts out a new growth.

I love your set up. By the looks of it, your plant grows/blooms in low light. Is that correct?

I think its moderate light. Its about 12 inches away from two t5 lights, 75 watt.

Really nice. I love these.
Mine don't flower though. I have three and they grow well, but since the flowers when I bought them nothing more. Humidity may be my problem from what you have said  |

To my experience they flower easily even if kept on the dry side. But for good growth they require constant humidity of the medium.

Thanks Rob. Well mine grow well. I do keep the soil always a bit damp. Oh well, maybe one day I'll get flowers again, but these have such great leaves anyway it doesn't really matter  |
