Ground orchids are beautiful and delicate flowers that can add value to your garden. You can find them in shady environments; they grow best when planted under trees or shrubs. Unlike other flowers that die off after blooming, orchids’ life cycle is long-lasting. They are an excellent choice for people who want to enjoy their flowers year-round! This variety is also known as the hardy orchid or Bletilla striata. It does well in a shaded or partly sunny environment with moist and humus-rich soil. The Chinese ground orchid has downward-facing purplish-pink flowers. It has beautiful pleated leaves that can grow up to 6 inches in length. It is a perfect container plant. Watering is an important concern when considering care for Spathoglottis. This plant needs its moisture, but can’t stand to have its roots constantly wet. Water the plant thoroughly, then allow the surface and top layer of the planting media to dry out before you water it again. In a protected area, it will probably need watering twice a week, but you may have to increase this in very warm or breezy areas.
