DESCRIPTION

Spathoglottis plicata is an evergreen, terrestrial herb that forms tall clusters. Plicata orchids produce beautiful clusters of purple-pink flowers. In warmer areas, flowers can be produced year-round with profuse flowering in summer. If you live where it gets cold, grow it in the ground next to your house or in a container so you can bring it inside for the winter.      

 Use in gardening

 Spathoglottis plicata and its varieties have been cultivated and selected. A common one has a bright purple flower. Some of them have mauve or pale mauve flowers. A rare pure white form is called 'Penang White'. Due to its hardiness and rapid growth, Spathoglottis plicata is cultivated and used for hybridization with other mountain Spathoglottis that are difficult to grow in lowlands to produce more palatable varieties.

Spathoglottis plicata should be grown in well-drained, well-aerated soil, with the top of the 'bulb' above ground level. Frequent application of dilute fertilizer water is recommended
