Plant Description:

- A beautiful plant when not in bloom - a stunning plant when in bloom.
- Plant has long arching green leaves that form a neat rounded clump in pots or the ground.
- Nation - North East India, Yunnan, (China) Myanmar (Burma) & Thailand.
- It egg shaped pseudobulbs give rise to an erect, 100 to 120 cm tall spike bearing 15 - 25 flower.
- The flowers face downwards and appear hooded - hence the name Nun's orchid.

Growing tips:

- This impressive ground orchid thrives in well areated soils.
- It grows usually in the ground, in the humus or decomposed leaves of spare open forests.
- Grow well in shade to semi shade.
- Regular watering required - especially in the hot summer months.
- A potting mix of equal parts of 2 to 4 cms pieces of coconut husk chips, wood charcoal, brick bats and dry manure pieces is perfect. Add a teaspoon of bonemeal to five litres of this mixture.
- Plants can be potted using this mix. If you are growing them in the ground - we would prefer a raised bed using this mix. (As dug out beds may get flooded in the monsoon)
