Propagation
The germination of the seed occurs after the inoculation by a suitable symbiotic fungus in the soil.

It is normally propagated by division with not less than four pseudo-bulbs per clump.

Large pieces will transplant easily for an instant effect and requiring a little care.


Botanic information
Leaf: The thick leathery textured sessile leaves are lanceolate to ovate and have an acute apex. Each stem consists of 2 to 5 terminal leaves that are arranged alternately.

Flower: The orchid-shaped flowers are arranged densely in a terminal raceme that is held arching above the foliage on a thick scape. The colour is creamy-white to yellow with purple markings on the lip and appear from late winter to early spring.

Fruit: The small fruit is a single chambered capsule that contains many small seeds that lack endosperm. The small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
