Goodyera amoena

A little-documented terrestrial jewel orchid known only from Sulawesi, with no georeferenced wild records. It is best grown like other tropical Goodyera: deep shade, constant warmth and high humidity in a loose, moist forest-floor mix.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details were found; by analogy with tropical Goodyera, expect the shaded floor of humid evergreen forest, rooted in leaf litter and moss.

Unknown; no wild records with elevations exist.
