Nerved zeuxine is a terrestrial orchid distinguished by its slender stems and glossy green, nervously veined leaves. Its delicate white flowers, often tinged with green or yellow, emerge in a subtle inflorescence, reflecting its adaptation to understory habitats. Nerved zeuxine thrives in the dappled shade of forests, where its inconspicuous appearance aids in blending with the leaf litter, essential for its pollination strategy.

Basic Care Guide
Transplant
6-12 inches
Transplant nerved zeuxine as the chill of winter yields to the warming breath of spring, typically from the vernal months to the cusp of summer. Choose a shaded spot with moist, well-draining soil to ensure a seamless transition.
A delicate terrestrial orchid, nerved zeuxine thrives with minimal pruning. Trim away dead or yellowing leaves at the base and snip spent flower stalks to promote next season's growth. Best performed in late spring to early summer after flowering, cautious pruning ensures energy is diverted to healthy growth. Benefits include an invigorated plant with enhanced flowering potential. Sterilized tools prevent infection, safeguarding nerved zeuxine's intricate root system. Prune judiciously, as nerved zeuxine can be sensitive to overhandling.
