A terrestrial orchid from seasonal bogs in Northern Japan, this beautiful plant has very definite likes and dislikes.
Will not tolerate dry heat above 30 degrees Celcius.
In growth, will not tolerate even a day's worth of dryness.
In winter, must be dry, or bulbs will rot.
Produces copious seed, but seed needs specific symbiotic bacteria to germinate. Tricky. Live spagnum moss a plus.
A hundred to one venture. Interesting
