Epipactis
gigantea * Giant Stream Orchid |
Giant Stream Orchid likes it moist. I have seen
Epipactis gigantea growing on a clump of soil in the middle of a stream
in full sun. The most robust group of plants was in deep shade on a seep. It
will grow with considerably less water, but Epipactis gigantea needs some and regularly. It blooms in
mid to late spring. Epipactis gigantea goes dormant in the winter. I make divisions of my
plants at this time. Plants do better without chlorinated water.
You can get most of the chlorine out of your water by leaving it exposed
to the air for 24 hours or more. I fill my watering can as I
complete my watering so it can outgas the chlorine.
