Orchid not in bloom.

1.7" pot

 

The Macodes sanderiana is a mesmerising jewel orchid cultivated exclusively for its emerald leaves with electric gold veining resembling lightning strikes. Thriving in steamy 22-28°C terrarium conditions with 75-90% humidity, this small creeping species (10-15cm) demands pure water and very low light (500-800 lux) to prevent leaf burn. While it produces insignificant white flowers in autumn, the true value lies in its iridescent foliage that develops richer patterns with age. Grow in living sphagnum moss within sealed displays, watering only with distilled or rainwater to maintain vein clarity. Its limited commercial availability and sensitivity to tap water minerals make it a prized specimen for serious terrarium enthusiasts.

 

Please note that these care instructions are based on general guidelines for Macradenia multiflora and may need adjustments based on your specific growing conditions and observations of your plant's health and behavior.
