I was told that you can chop sections of Ludisia discolor and grow new plants. The jewel orchid grows in sections, and one can be cut every three sections and grow a new plant. Has anyone tried this? I am curious and too afraid to take the hack to mine yet.

Any plants that have "nodes" (sounds like your section) can be grown that way.

Phylodendron, pepperomia, etc.

If the sections appear like nodes - sounds like you'd be able to.

I have a 2" pot with some type of arrow plant in it... and a jewel orchid just started growing out of it. I'm guessing a small section was left by the roots of the arrow plant and it's just now taking off.

I've had good luck with cuttings on these guys... they are kind like extra flesy philo cuttings. When the adult plant starts getting leggie in its spreading I'd take a razor (or jut brake it by hand) cut it so it had a couple nodes (on mine it already showed signs of roots) and either sticking it in water or dirt. I usually just stick mine in dirt and kept it well watered.

I don't think they are any harder than philo and pothos cuttings.
