As soon as the days become much lighter in the spring, the tubers can be replanted in orchid substrate. Then keep moist (iron damp), sprouting will occur within 4-6 weeks under optimal conditions. Flowering can be expected from mid-August to early September, the flowers are about 3cm high, and last 3-5 weeks depending on weather conditions.
