Lay if flat on damp sphagnum and it will root fine. They are surface
wanderers, so don't plant it deeply.

Hi everyone back again after a time with another beginner's query.

Will a section which has dropped off a Jewel orchid root if I plant it?
It is about 8"long, has calloused on the end and there are about 4
obvious 'sections'
along the stem if I need to cut it.
I have been told it will root in water .

It is the jewel orchid with the very dark green velvety leaves with pink
edges and stripes, and small white flowers on pink stems.

Any advice welcome
