P. limprichtii. Er en af de skønneste species, skønt det ikke er den
nemmeste at tilfredsstille, den skal have en kold vinter periode og gror
bedst når løget er dækket i gro mediet.
Pleione gror bedst i potte, som kan graves ned i haven om sommeren og
tages op om efteråret hvorefter de opbevares tørt om vinteren, vanding
påbegyndes når de første spirer viser sig, holdes fugtige om sommeren og
tilføres lidt gødning, halvskygge.

P. limprichtii. Is one of the most
delightful species in cultivation, though not the
easiest to satisfy. The plant should be kept cold during
the winter months. Plants respond best when the
pseudobulbs are buried in the growing medium.
Pleione, can be grown outdoors in mild winter areas.
Some Pleione are hardy to USDA Zone 7, Sunset Zones 5-9,
14-24, about +5°F for brief periods, and - with snow or
mulch - will probably withstand lower temperatures.
Pleione can also be grown in the average home in a north
or east window and are often called 'Window-sill Orchids'.
Pleione are native to China, Nepal, Tibet, and Taiwan.
They grow in moss on the ground, trees or rocks. P.
formosana and its cultivars and P. limprichtii are the
hardiest and do well in the garden. They need loose,
humusy, well drained soil and a sheltered spot in full
or afternoon shade. In containers, a media of equal
parts of bark, pumice and peat is suitable.
