Planting

In the wild, Gymnadenia colonize a multitude of biotopes, but are generally found in open areas such as meadows, embankments, roadsides, mountainsides, forest edges, often linked to very fluctuating humidity conditions. This means that they are very adaptable. This plant requires a sunny to semi-shady exposure and accepts heavy or very calcareous soils as well as acidic soils.

In cultivation, it is advisable to use lava stone (pumice) or fine quartz to keep the soil light and well drained. We recommend adding a little potting soil with little organic matter or clay.

Exposure

The ideal location is sunny or semi-shaded.

Over the seasons...

The plant develops over the years, each tuber is renewed when the leaves wither in summer, sometimes accompanied by vegetative propagation (additional tubers). Over the years, the plant multiplies its number of rosettes and flower stems.
