Default Habenaria repens

Habenaria repens - one of only "few" terrestrials I can grow and bloom, sadly. But this one is awesome! I did fail first couple times trying to grow this, till I found out the best way, shallow bowl or vase with no drainage, 100% pure peat moss, keeping lightly soggy at all times, regular fertilizing, grows well both in shade and in high light, and can take even direct Florida sun. I love these little aliens
