P. Piton (formosana x yunnanensis) Alle blomster er på en lang stilk
efter P. yunnanensis også blomster farve efter denne, kan være alle ting
fra lys lavendel til mørk lavendel med læben markeret af purpurrød, brun
eller violet. Få kloner kan også have lidt gul på læben og få andre har
svag purpur pletter på petal.
| 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. Piton (formosana x yunnanensis) All the flowers are held on long
stems, taking after P. yunnanensis. They also take after it in colour,
being anything from pale to dark lavender with lip markings of purplish
red, brown or violet. A few clones also have a little yellow in the lip,
and few other clones have faint purple spotting on the petals.
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. |
