How to grow and repot Pleione formosana ground orchids.

This week Plant Lovers its ALL about basic care and repotting of Pleione ground orchids, and in this case Pleione formosana. A beautiful and easy to grow orchid either indoors or out....as long as you get the basics right.....which I only JUST have! I have struggled with the propagation of these orchids but....I've finally figured it out!! Pleione formosana can come in a range or colours from white, like mine, to pale pinks, stronger pinks and purple. Plus there are other Pleione species so there will be one for you! I shot this video over six months so we can see the plants in bloom, the plants in leaf, and the plants in dormancy being repotted.

And funnily enough, I shot this video last week and in it say that my regular 'supplier' had gone out of business. Well today I found THREE more if you're based in Australia: https://gentiananursery.com.au/ has them in stock but not their website as I happened to be at the nursery today! And https://www.whitehousenursery.com.au/... do have them on their site. https://www.tonkinsbulbs.com.au/ have a brilliant selection but only on their site in winter so sign up to their newsletter to get the notification that they are available.

I apply Mycorrhizal fungi in the repotting element of this video and if you want to learn more about Mycorrhizal fungi you can here: https://www.anbg.gov.au/fungi/mycorrh...
