Description
The Macodes "Goldnetz", also known as Jewel Orchid, is an impressive plant that stands out primarily for its shiny, decorative leaves. This small, ground-dwelling orchid is native to the moist, shady rainforests of Southeast Asia.
The leaf coloring of the Macodes "Goldnetz" is particularly striking. The leaves display a dark green to gold-yellow color with a unique, glittering vein structure in gold-yellow. The leaves, which can reach a diameter of 3 to 5 cm, are arranged in a spiral pattern around the stems. The plant occasionally produces a flower spike, which can reach a height of up to 25 cm, with individual flowers being small and in shades of brown-red or white. After the bloom has faded, the corresponding shoot gradually dies off, and new shoots develop, growing again to flowering size.
Cultivation of the Macodes "Goldnetz" requires a mix of orchid bark and sphagnum moss to create a loose substrate. However, Macodes also grows well in other loose substrates and can be directly set in sphagnum moss. This plant thrives with constant high humidity, making it excellently suited for use in terrariums and other plant containers. The plant containers do not necessarily have to be covered. For plants originating from in vitro culture, however, the Macodes should be given a transition period with a covered plant container to acclimate to the slightly drier environment. When watering, ensure that the soil is thoroughly watered, then allowed to dry slightly before watering again. It is important that the soil never completely dries out. The Macodes "Goldnetz" prefers consistently warm temperatures and should not be exposed to temperatures below 15 °C.
The Jewel Orchid is known for its ability to form dense, impressive mats in terrariums. The leaves with their reflective veins give the plant its name and make it an attractive highlight in any terrarium or plant container.
