Anoectodes "Charlotte's Web" (Jewel Orchid)

Anoectochilus "Charlotte's Web," commonly known as a jewel orchid, is a hybrid that features striking foliage with intricate patterns. The parent plants of this hybrid are typically native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia, particularly found in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia.

For care tips:

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves, while too little light can stunt growth.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity: This plant prefers high humidity levels, ideally between 50-70%. Use a humidity tray, mist the leaves, or use a humidifier to maintain moisture in the air.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night, but avoid temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as an orchid mix or a combination of peat, perlite, and bark, to provide the right conditions for healthy growth.

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Repotting: Repot every couple of years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the best time for repotting.

By following these care tips, you can help your Anoectochilus "Charlotte's Web" thrive and display its beautiful foliage.
