The Macodes Petola Amber Jewel Orchid is native to Southeast Asia, where it thrives in lush tropical forests. In the wild, it can be found growing on the forest floor or as an epiphyte, attaching itself to trees and absorbing nutrients from the air and rain. This unique growth habit gives it a distinctive appearance and makes it a true jewel among orchids.
The Macodes Petola showcases mesmerizing leaves that are reminiscent of precious amber stones. The leaves feature intricate patterns, ranging from dark green to golden yellow, creating a captivating display of colours and textures. Each leaf is adorned with delicate veins, adding to its overall allure.
Caring for the Macodes Petola Amber Jewel Orchid is relatively straightforward, making it suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. Here are some essential care tips to ensure its well-being:
Light Requirements: Place the Macodes Petola in a spot that receives bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Filtered or dappled sunlight is ideal for optimal growth and vibrant foliage.
Temperature and Humidity: Maintain a moderate room temperature between 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F) to provide the Macodes Petola with a comfortable environment. It appreciates higher humidity levels, so misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help create the required moisture.
Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Adjust the watering frequency based on environmental conditions and the moisture needs of the plant.
Potting Mix: Use a well-draining orchid potting mix specifically formulated for epiphytic orchids. This type of mix allows for proper aeration and drainage, promoting healthy root growth.
Fertilizing: Feed the Macodes Petola Amber Jewel Orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer according to the instructions on the package to avoid over-fertilization. Try our own vegan plant food here
