Lees botanical garden order - Ludisia discolor
Ok, not that I want to brag about this, but I found this website by big luck - was looking for Habenaria repens, could not find, posted add on one website, and someone wrote me to check this page. I did order my repens last week, and the day after this Ludisia discolor, repens because I really wanted one, and this one just because the prices are totally insane - that means, extremely CHEAP. You must check this seller if on the budget. I did order 2 plants, as with repens got 2 large size ones and 3 extra bonus free small ones. Now, the best part, each plant was only $4.95, and the shipping was only $1.24, I know, do not ask me why and how - the seller is actually loosing on postage, because the price on the package was at the end $2.24. The same as with my Habenarias - the plants look very healthy, came in perfect condition, and I think they are great buy for this price! Definitely recommended website!!!

Nice buys. Its got a little bit of growing left, the stems on mine are about twice that size and curl on each other.

I have mine in equal parts of peat and perlite; I grow them in deep pots standing in water. Watch for crown rot on them and slugs/snails, both of which seem to love them. Other than that they are pretty easy to grow and will multiply rapidly if they are happy. Good luck! I'll post pics when I'm in bloom out here,
Adam
