Habenaria quinqueseta

[naoki]

I got this plant from Lee's Botanical Gardens about 3 years ago. As with many Habenaria, the flower structure is pretty cool. I've tried a couple of Habenaria (H. repens and H. floribunda) from Florida. They grow and flower ok for a couple seasons, but they don't seem to last for a long. Does anyone have a tip to keep them growing for a long time? In the winter, I keep it a bit drier (water once a week).

Really cool plant. I have no experience with this but I hope you find someone that can provide some advice to keep it going.

nice. I think to keep them you must propagate them.
