Planting

The white egret flower is a plant of marshy but permeable soil that dries up in autumn. That’s why it’s important that its substrate remains moist throughout the growth period. The white egret flower grows preferably in a moist, well-drained and cool soil, in a sunny location.

Select a pot with holes and add a layer of gravel or lava stone to the bottom of the pot to ensure good drainage. Add sand and lava stone to a light potting soil. You can also use perlite mixed with sphagnum moss. Plant the tubers 1 cm deep and 10 cm apart, fill with potting soil, pack well and water abundantly.

Watering should be regular and light during the growing season. The substrate should remain slightly moist until the foliage starts to turn yellow in late summer. Before the frost, the pot should be placed in a room with a humid atmosphere, without watering it until the following spring.
