Propagation
Divide during spring and replant immediately retaining some of the soil from the root ball as it has beneficial fungi included.


Botanic information
Leaf: The large fleshy leaves are arranged opposite or spirally and are ovate to elliptical or lanceolate and tend to fold upwards.. The apex is normally acuminate and the leaf base clasps the stem.

Flower: The flowers appears solitary or on racemes and appear from spring to winter. The flower consists of 3-petals with one forming a inflated sack-like lip. The staminal column has a shield-like staminode and the ovary has 3-cells.

The specialised labellum in some species traps fly`s allowing then to escape in one direction only towards the stamens and styles, thus pollination occurs.

Fruit: The fruit is a single chambered capsule that contains many small seeds that lack endosperm. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively in order to maintain true to type.

Planting
Plant rhizomes during spring and space 30 to 60 cm (2 ft) apart at a depth of 25 mm to 100 mm (4 in). At the end of the season do not disturb the clump as it will increase in size and flowering will improve.
Watering
Thoroughly water after planting then water regularly during the growing period and they dislike fertiliser. Reduce watering during winter as the plant becomes dormant and mulch with leaf mould.
Light
They prefer dappled light or partial shade. In the shade-house position in bright indirect light and maintain humidity.
