What is the plant

Spiranthes spiralis, commonly known as autumn lady's-tresses, is an orchid that grows in Europe and adjacent North Africa and Asia. It is a small grey-green plant. It forms a rosette of four to five pointed, sessile, ovate leaves about 3 cm (1.2 in) in length.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Let the soil dry completely, then thoroughly wet it. Let it dry completely before you water again.
Fertilizer
You can fertilize the plant every spring using a general, all-purpose mixture.
Sunlight
Part sun or part shade plants prefer light that is filtered. Sunlight, though not direct, is important to them. Often morning sun, because it is not as strong as afternoon sun, can be considered part sun or part shade.
