The Dossinia marmorata is a CITES-protected jewel orchid endemic to Borneo, prized for its velvety copper-marbled leaves more than its modest white summer flowers. Thriving in stable 22-28°C temperatures and ultra-high humidity (75-90%), this slow-growing terrestrial demands humus-rich acidic soil and minimal light (500-800 lux). Best grown in sealed terrariums, its 10-15cm rosettes develop striking metallic veining when given proper care. Water with rainwater (pH 5.5-6.0) to maintain soil acidity, and avoid leaf wetting to prevent rot. With fewer than 10 commercial growers worldwide offering legally propagated specimens, this remains one of the most coveted foliage orchids for serious collectors.
