How to propagate jewel orchids?

Hi all! These are my jewel orchids and they are not thriving and lost their oldest leaves. So I wanted to know how to propagate them to make them look pretty again ? Also if you have tips about how to take better care of it ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป thank you very much ! #JewelOrchid #PropagationStation #Propagation
To propagate, just cut in between nodes and root in water. Iโ€™ve done it a bunch with ludisia discolor and they root really well in water. If not propping now, you can also repot into a moderately well-draining soil which will give them a nutrient boost. Also, in my experience, they always grow leggy over time and shed lower leaves.
