Habenaria Culture Sheets
Habenarias are dry winter dormancy plants.
They lose all foliage and previous years growth - leaving just the new tubers produced that year. If they look terrible after bloom - it's what they are supposed to do!
They are the easiest Orchids to care for in the winter. Unpot and place tubers in a baggie. No water - no guessing what is going on below the surface.
Once media is dry and top growth is dry and crispy - you will need to unpot and place any firm tubers in a small plastic bag to store until they begin to sprout- then pot up in slightly moist media. (Promix HP - high porosity) Mist when surface dries out. Evenly moist once rapid growth begins and leaves separate.
