This is an unidentified *Zingiber* species from Borneo, distributed under the trade name 'Lidi.' It grows as a compact tropical herb with upright stems and silver-mottled foliage. Like other *Zingiber*, it prefers warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright, indirect light. Based on observed cultivation behavior, it remains compact, typically under 8 inches (20 cm) tall. Best suited for terrariums, grow cabinets, or small tropical plant displays.
