Care Instructions
The Lapland Marsh-orchid thrives in temperate climates with moderate temperatures. It prefers bright, indirect light and high humidity. Watering should keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided its environmental needs are met.Soil
This orchid prefers loamy soil that retains moisture well but also drains adequately. A mix of loam with some organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil is slightly acidic to neutral in pH.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize during the growing season, typically every 2-4 weeks, to support healthy growth.Repotting
Repot the Lapland Marsh-orchid every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Repotting is best done in the spring before the growing season begins. Use fresh, well-draining soil and a slightly larger pot.Propagation
Propagate this orchid by dividing the tubers during the dormant period. Ensure each division has at least one healthy tuber and some roots. Plant the divisions in suitable soil and keep them moist until new growth appears.Pruning
Pruning is not typically required for this orchid. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health and appearance.Toxicity
The Lapland Marsh-orchid is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is best to prevent pets and children from ingesting any part of the plant.Additional
Ensure the plant has a dormancy period of about 3 months during the winter. Reduce watering during this time and keep the plant in a cooler location to mimic its natural habitat.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
