Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say Ludisia discolor (formerly Haemaria discolor), jewel orchid or golden lace orchid? Other jewel orchids, such as Macodes, Anoectochilus or Goodyera, are different plants and this care hasn't been reviewed for them. The moth orchid (Phalaenopsis) is also a different plant. If the label is missing or unclear, choose I'm not sure; the reference image does not confirm your plant.

Important precautions

The ASPCA lists it as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses. That says nothing about people, so don't eat it.
