Neotinea lactea, commonly known as the Milky Orchid, is a tuberous geophyte belonging to the Orchidaceae family. It is native to subtropical regions and is known for its delicate, milky-white flowers. This orchid typically undergoes a dormancy period during the cooler months.
Neotinea lactea thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers bright, indirect light. It requires a humid environment and should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. This orchid can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it is protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
تربة
The Milky Orchid prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix of loam and orchid bark can provide the necessary drainage and aeration. Ensure the soil remains slightly moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.
سماد
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the dormancy period.
إعادة السمعة
Repot Neotinea lactea every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Repot during the early spring before the growing season begins. Use a fresh, well-draining orchid mix and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
الانتشار
Propagate the Milky Orchid through division. Divide the tubers during the dormancy period, ensuring each division has at least one healthy tuber and some roots. Plant the divisions in fresh orchid mix and water sparingly until new growth appears.
