Did you know orchid soil.

In general, orchids are epiphytic plants that naturally grow attached to a tree limb. Thus, in the subsequent acculturation require a medium similar to the character, then the plant is slightly different ground orchids. Ground orchid soil capable of growing with the media as other ornamental plants. As Clumping Plant shrubs, ground orchids either used as a border in place that gets sunlight. Often also used to fill the tub or field crops under the bedroom window. Ground orchids grow naturally flowing form a series that covers the walls and the ground surface.

Characteristics of the soil in its development orchids can grow to a height of 45 cm, with leaves up to 5-7 cm long and broad leaves bones parallel to the leaf edge. Body fertile ground orchid leaves emerge from the soil surface and the green light. Among the leaves are emerging flower stalks that can reach 40 cm in length or more. Each prop flower clusters that appear purple or white at each end. If we observe a series of new interest we are convinced that this type of a member of the orchid family.

Ground orchids are not too fond of the wet soil, in dry conditions for some time before the next watering will actually stimulate the emergence of flower buds.

Breeding ground orchids can be done with the separation of tillers / hill, the plants have grown enough. This activity can be done in conjunction with thinning the plants that have grown too dense so that the flower production decreases.

Ground orchids are popular in Indonesia (Sphatoglotis Plicatta).

In general, the habitat of orchids can be divided into 4 groups of epiphytic orchids (live riding on other plants), terrestrial orchids (grown in soil), orchid Litofit (growing on rocks) and orchids saprophytic (living on humus / dried leaves).

Spathoglotis which has long been known in Indonesia are generally colored purple (Spathoglotis Plicatta) but lately have developed several new varieties that produce other colors such as yellow or white. Yellow species only grow well in the highlands. Spathoglotis Plicatta first discovered in the tropics.
Ground orchids need the media as a source of food. Use of humus, manure and compost is needed. Plant propagation is by seed or seedling plants. Its roots grow so quickly when planted in large pots needed pot size. About maintenance, prune regularly with cut leaves that have brown or dry stalk.
