Michael Bernardoni:
You probably already know that you have a terrestrial jewel orchid
(Ludisia), grown more for its foliage than its flowers. I've never tried
one myself, because they're supposed to be tricky, but my quicky guide
recommends intermediate temps., partly sunny conditions, in a medium
composed of a mix of bark and sphagnum moss, small pots or baskets, and
evenly moist conditions.
They're supposed to bloom in the winter.
Good luck -- you're braver than I am!

I have inherited some orchids and need just a basic faq so I don't
immediately kill the little darlings. Anybody have a URL?
