Notes
Jewel orchid (Macodes petola) is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance growing. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 11 and warmer, down to about 40°F (4°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist soil. It stays evergreen and reaches about 12 inches tall and wide, so it fits easily on a shelf or table.
Pairs well with African violet, Peace lily, and Monstera peru.
