Dense golden reticulation covers the deep green to dark lime velvet leaves of Anoectochilus roxburghii ‘Gold Bar’. The linework is heavy and continuous, giving each leaf a strongly marked surface.
New growth forms along a low surface rhizome, so the plant remains compact and creeping in the pot. Keep it warm and humid, in low filtered light and a fine substrate that holds moisture around the roots without turning heavy or stale.
Anoectochilus roxburghii is a terrestrial jewel orchid species with a natural range from the Himalaya to southern China and Indo-China. ‘Gold Bar’ has the same creeping growth pattern, with a low rhizome that moves along the substrate surface.
Keep the stem near the surface, give it space to extend and use a shallow pot with an even root zone. Deep containers can hold stale moisture below the roots, especially in cool rooms.
This jewel orchid is not known as toxic to cats or dogs. Place it away from pets that chew leaves, as eaten plant material can still irritate the stomach.
Anoectochilus roxburghii (Wall.) Lindl. is an accepted Orchidaceae species first published in J.F. Royle’s Illustrations of the Botany of the Himalayan Mountains, page 368, in 1839. The epithet roxburghii commemorates William Roxburgh, while Anoectochilus refers to the open lip of the flower.
‘Gold Bar’ is recognised by its dense gold reticulation, deep green leaf base and compact creeping growth.
