How to Care for the Plant

Water

Avoid over watering as this can lead to root rot. Position your orchid in a bright windowsill facing east or west.

Sunlight

Full sun is ideal, and some shade is acceptable but may reduce the number of blooms.

Soil

Light soil is best, with good drainage, but helleborine will tolerate other types of soil. They are especially at home in wet conditions, such as along a pond edge or stream.
