Pleione

These small orchids which came originally from China will grow well in the house or greenhouse. Protect from frost. Plant the pseudobulbs in a mixture of peat, loam, perlite and sphagnum moss immediately on arrival. Keep the soil moist but not wet. A little fine grade bonemeal can be added to the mixture when planting. Weak liquid feed can be used at regular intervals of about 10-14 days from the time the flowers start to fade.
