This week Plant Lovers a look at some of terrestrial orchids in my collection! And I've been filming them as they bloom so theres a few to look at over the last year! And to be honest, some are a LOT easier than others! So in this video we'll look at a mix of plants from around the world with quite different requirements and see how I've managed...or not!
The plants I mention in this video are:
Calanthe aristulifera
Habenaria Galah
Pterostylis repanda
Stenoglottis longifolia
Spiranthes odorata
Spiranthes australis

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You have inspired me to do a similar thing here in Sydney, although targeted for small balconies. I have no water or electricity on my balcony, so no special equipment for me either.

Thanks Matthew
I was amazed to see these little spirals because I couldn't mow the grass for a few weeks during a really wet period we had a few years ago. The leaves just looked like grass but no were near as big as the northern species.

Great video! Just a comment, Stenoglottis aren't really terrestrials, but they are more or less lithophytes, I've seen many of the species in the wild and almost always in small pockets of humus on rocks or even trees! I grow all my Stenoglottis in bark and stone chips

I had NO IDEA that what I was growing was a terrestial orchid (DUH!).

Are Cymbidiums not considered terrestrial?
