Giant ludisia discolor

This was donated to me by Clark; he wanted to get rid of a bunch of plants and this was in bud, so I took it to our church where there was room for it to spread out

Nice. What is your media?

I’m not sure. It was inherited in bud from Clark and it’s so full I haven’t seen what’s in it

Very nice, thanks. In the West Indies they grow them in the street, I think.

Wow, that is big!

I just purchased a small one of these. Was told to keep it moist, use African Violet mix when rooted, moss to root. Once you figure out the medium, please post. Also, if you know how old the plant is, let us know.

It is huge, and because it has been in a very cool area it’s still in full flower!

Nice specimen!

Mine is quite a few years away! LOL

Thanks Charles

What’s funny is the ludisia I’ve tried to grow myself never got going or amounted to anything
