Propagation of Tipularia discolor can be done through division of the pseudobulbs. This is best done during the repotting process in the spring. Ensure each division has at least one healthy pseudobulb and some roots. Plant the divisions in a suitable orchid mix and water sparingly until new growth appears.Snoeien

Tipularia discolor is a fascinating plant due to its unique growth cycle and appearance. It produces leaves in the fall and flowers in the summer, making it an interesting addition to any plant collection. Ensure it has a period of dormancy during the summer months by reducing watering and allowing the soil to dry out more than usual.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
