Habitat
Bog Orchids are Hardy Orchids that grow naturally in the bogs, pocosins and fens of primarily eastern N. America. They typically prefer open and sunny wetland habitats where the peat/sand soil is consistently damp. Most species grow across multiple hardiness zones from Zones 3 to 9 making them adaptable from deep winter freezes to milder temperate winters. They frequently grow in association with sphagnum moss and carnivorous plants, making them excellent companions for the bog garden.
Culture

Orchids grow in the same conditions as carnivorous plants.  They prefer consistently damp, peaty, sandy soil and full to partial sun.  They typically do not need mycorrhizal (symbotic fungal) associations like other terrestrial orchids. Grow Orchids as you would Sarracenia. The standard CP soil mix of peat and sand works well. I find that they grow better with chopped sphagnum and pine bark fines added to their soil.  Mature orchids prefer a wider large pot of 6-8+” (15-20cm) because their roots usually grow long and shallow.  Most do best when the soil is evenly moist, but not soaking wet.  They can tolerate very wet, even submerged conditions, for weeks at a time.  Let the soil become drier; yet remain somewhat moist, during winter dormancy.  Water from below with mineral-free water.  The tray method works very well.  Stand the pot in a tray or saucer and keep about 1” (2.5cm) of water in it at all times during the growing season.  Bog orchids prefer full sun, growing in and among grasses and other bog plants. Provide a winter mulch of 4-6" of weed free hay or pine needles. Best flowering occurs in mature, undisturbed plants.

Thank you so very much for supporting my small business!!!
