Macodes Sanderiana (Jewel Orchid), Lighting Bolt (Gold Veins) Patten, Potted

The media could not be loaded. So I ordered Sanderiana, but what I got looks more like Macodes Petola? Absolutely not complaining- this is the most beautiful tiny plant I’ve ever beheld with mine two eyes. When it said the veins were gold, I didn’t know they actually looked glittery <3 and the green is such a velvet emerald! It honestly looks like it belongs in a potions or alchemy lab. If you watch the quick film please pardon my fish tank. I was trying to catch some of the glittering on my phone. Honestly my pictures don’t do it justice.I do have some concerns about it though- my new leaf is a very pale yellow tipped in a very bruised looking brown. Maybe that’s just what they do? I’ve never owned one before, I just hope it’s ok. There is also damage to the tip of my velvety leaf. It’s just so tiny... and precious... and has only one real leaf, I’ll feel much better when it has two. Overall it is very much the jewel of my collection, and I love it so much!The packaging was super SOLID. I’ll be reusing it’s hat for sure, and I was incredibly impressed. None of my plants were dry at all. Though I will need to invest in some distilled water tomorrow to mist my other purchases.Over all? Dear lord- purchase if you can handle the anxiety over whether it will or will not live in your abode. Haha But it is hands down the most gorgeous jewel/plant I’ve ever known/owned.

Bought in June, 2022. It was very small as photos in ad show. It has never grown. Tried it in all kinds of lighting, repotted, etc. Still nothing and going into the trash.

I received a fetus plant. It was well package and protected. So far it’s still alive. It’s becoming a newborn now. Still frail looking but it’s thriving.

I waited a while to write the review to see how the plant would fare. It was tiny when it arrived, with only two small leaves on it. I put it in a terrarium, and now, just a few weeks later, it has five leaves and is starting a sixth, and it’s about three times taller. It’s thriving and happy. It’s really pretty, like a little gem inside my terrarium.

They are awesome little plants. Super cute lightning bolt leaves. They are quite a bit smaller than I expected. I knew they would be small but they are pretty tiny. Still shipped to my ungodly cold state with no problems. They even included a heat pack and a care/fact sheet!! I did however take it out of the pot before I took pictures because I was super excited put it in my terrarium, and upon doing so found out that it has a very healthy and well developed roots. Definitely recommend.

Pretty little plant. Little being the main point. This is a 1 inch unrooted cutting. I put it in a small terrarium in sphagnum moss, so far it looks OK. Price is very high for such a tiny cutting. I had ordered a dark version which was canceled but I'm glad if it was going to be the same size

This plant was packaged well, but I was surprised that it had only 2 leaves, & one looked healthy, the other one not so much. The seller’s plant photo was much larger, so that’s what I thought I was buying. The plant is under a grow light, & while it has not died, it has not grown either. I hope it survives.I feel vendors ought to practice truth in advertising.I learned this vendor sells the same plants on Etsy, & when I looked at the photos buyers posted, their plants were much larger than the one I bought on Amazon.

I was excited for the jewel orchid, but it was very small and it didn’t have any roots. Had the plant for 3 weeks and it fell apart.
