Easy to grow, easy to make bud, more flower season, maybe bloom 3 times in year.

Nice, I really like the shape of the lip on this one!

I hear that these are best grown in garden beds but that doesn't look like how yours are growing. Would you mind sharing how you grow them and the type of potting mix you use?

Very very pretty

Aussie - I've had a Spathoglottis for a few months and I just have it potted in regular potting soil, not garden soil, but the houseplant potting soil. So far it's doing really well!

Oh OK. I received some recently but they have been divided and have had their roots quite badly disturbed. A couple of them have shed their leaves and I'm wondering if they will pull through. I take it they are a bit sensitive about root disturbance. Any advice?

Hi Bloom_Aussie. This guy easy to grow. I grow it by farmland in earthenware pot, add some mix fertilizer (as muck). I dont have special grow, just to mix muck with cultivated land. I dont cultivate it more, take it outside but It blooming-grow.

Cheers.
