🌿 Plant Care Tips

Aspidogyne argentea, commonly known as the silver jewel orchid, is prized for its beautiful, velvety leaves with silver veining. This terrestrial orchid is an excellent addition to any indoor plant collection, offering a striking aesthetic with relatively easy care.

Native to: Aspidogyne argentea is native to the tropical rainforests of South America, particularly in countries such as Brazil and Peru. It thrives in the humid, shaded understory of these forests.

Water: Keep the soil of Aspidogyne argentea consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure good drainage to prevent water from pooling around the roots, which can lead to rot.

Light: This orchid prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage the delicate leaves, so it's best placed in a spot where it receives filtered light. It can also adapt to lower light conditions, although its growth may slow down slightly.

Humidity: Aspidogyne argentea thrives in high humidity levels between 70% and 90%, making it an ideal candidate for terrarium culture. In less humid indoor environments, use a humidifier or a pebble tray with water to maintain adequate moisture levels.

Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18°C to 24°C for optimal growth. Aspidogyne argentea prefers stable, warm conditions and should be protected from temperatures below 15°C and cold drafts, which can stress the plant and hinder its growth.
