P. 'Shantung' (formosana x confusa) Har meget varierende af farver
fra hvid, dog gennemgående varierende farver af gul som kan give en
abrikos skær men de er normal gule med grålilla skær. Få kloner har pink
petal og sepal.
| 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. 'Shantung' (formosana x confusa) gives a wide range of colour
from white, through varios shades of yellow to what appears to be an
apricot colour, but is really yellow overlaid with mauve. A few clones
have pink petals and sepals.
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. |
