Homeowner Growing & Maintenance

Bletilla is easy to grow and adapts to most conditions. Feed once a year with a slow release fertilizer. To give your plant the best start possible, we include free fertilizer with every order.

Interesting Notes

Divide approximately every four years to promote . Remove seed pods and groom to remove unsightly foliage as needed. Best performance is in consistently moist soil. In Japan the species is called shi-ran, meaning purple orchid. In China it's known as pai chi. But popular gardening references have named this plant the Chinese ground orchid.
