kanran is an evergreen terrestrial orchid which
grows under evergreen trees in the south part of
Japan In its natural
habitat it therefore likes warmth, although its
name means "cold orchid"
It is very much appreciated by Japanese
enthusiasts and is widely grown as an indoor pot
plant. |
|
|
| It
needs a well drained compost, likes a shady
place throughout the year and must have a cool
place in summer. |
|
|
|
|
|
| We grow it in
composted bark with good drainage. It is
kept on a window sill in our utility room
which has no heat, and we bring it into our
conservatory as it comes into bloom.
This is its fourth year, and its second to
bloom. |
