Pleione praecox
orchids
Description
Pleione praecox is a captivating miniature orchid species, known for its delicate flowers and unique growth habit. The orchid typically has a pseudobulb that produces a single leaf, and the flower blooms directly from the pseudobulb before the new leaf emerges. The flowers are relatively large and can come in a variety of colors, including pink, purple, and white. Pleione praecox thrives in cool, humid environments with good air circulation. They prefer a well-draining potting mix. A helpful tip for cultivation is to provide a period of dormancy in the winter by reducing watering and providing cooler temperatures.
