Default Ludisia discolor help

Ludisias are very forgiving about the growing medium, as long as it stays
moist.

Thanks to everyone who replied, Ray, I'm a bit low on sphagnum at the

moment
(did a lot of carnivorous repotting) so I'll give Johns method a go.

Cut off the flower spike and put it in a bud vase to enjoy.

Snap off the end with the leaves about 3-4 inches from the bottom leaf.

Let
it air dry for a couple of days to callous over. If you have it, put
rooting compound on the bottom inch or two and pot it up in potting

soil.
Keep it evenly moist. Do not let it dry out nor stand in water.

This works for me 90%+ of the time. I have about 70 growing that way

now.
