Anoectochilus 'Leaf Tip' (Jewel Orchid)
Anoectochilus 'Leaf Tip' is a terrestrial jewel orchid grown primarily for its foliage. Its habit reflects the shaded, humid forest-floor environments occupied by many members of the genus. Dark green, pointed leaves carry a fine network of pale golden veins, with contrasting younger foliage.
The leaves provide the main display, with their surface texture and contrasting venation visible throughout vegetative growth. Small orchid flowers are carried on an upright stalk when the plant reaches maturity. It obtains nutrients through its roots and has no insect-trapping structures.
A shallow, airy, moisture-retentive medium suits its creeping habit. Bright indirect light, stable moisture and gentle air movement support leaf development, while strong direct sun can damage the foliage. It can be grown as a specimen in a humid indoor collection or a ventilated terrarium.

What's Included
One healthy Anoectochilus 'Leaf Tip' growing in a Nano Nursery cup, ready to continue developing under suitable conditions.
A tissue culture plants are grown in clear gel, transparent container that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.
Our Gel Cup are non-sterile gel media that we use for start the hardening process after a plant has been in tissue culture.These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy as the get ready to transition to standard growing conditions.
Quick Hardening Steps:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
Each transparent Transition Cup (5 cm diameter × 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant that has moved beyond sterile tissue culture and into a structured transition medium.
Inside, you’ll find a young carnivorous plant securely planted in a semi-solid blend designed to support root development while easing the shift from gel to soil.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity and airflow, helping reduce transplant shock and supporting the plant during this critical transition stage.
Suitable for both novice growers and experienced collectors, Transition Cups provide a reliable, low-stress way to guide delicate carnivorous plants toward successful soil establishment.
Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.
Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.
Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
