Calanthe key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 20-40cm
- Light & Placement
- It prefers bright shade like dappled woodland light. Direct sun causes leaf scorch, so avoid it.
- Watering
- Avoid dryness but also beware of overwatering. Water when the surface dries, and never let water sit in the pot.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- The ideal range is 15-28°C. The Japanese terrestrial species are cold hardy and can overwinter outdoors.
- Soil & Repotting
- Plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil. It can also go straight into the garden; choose a well-drained spot there too.
- Propagation
- It multiplies as a chain of pseudobulbs, so it can be propagated by division. Separate the older pseudobulbs when repotting.
