Hi, I have bought a Calanthe from Thompson and Morgan, British supplier and it is described as a "Rainbow " - there were four colour combinations in the photos and I won't know what I've got until it flowers next year.
I have been supplied with a shooting rhisome attached to a lot of roots. As we are promised another very cold winter, I have potted it up in a compost mixture of ericaceous( peaty) compost with extra trace frit and grit and leca in a pot placed in a cool green house until next spring.
Should I water it very often over the winter, or keep it dryish, like my Pleione?
Does anyone recognise the variety in the photograph?
