Pterostylis

• Light

  Pterostylis can grow in a variety of light conditions, from full shade to bright sun, but should be protected from the hot afternoon sun. If grown in too much shade, the inflorescence may fall over. 
• Temperature

  Pterostylis prefers intermediate to warm temperatures. During dormancy, temperatures should be kept between 68-77°F. 
• Watering

  Water Pterostylis steadily when it's actively growing, but reduce watering when the leaves start to yellow and the plant enters dormancy. During dormancy, keep the pots mostly dry. 
• Soil

  Pterostylis grows best in a light, sandy, well-draining terrestrial mixture. You can also grow it in a 3:1 soil to perlite mix. 
• Potting

  Grow Pterostylis in shallow pots. Growing them in clear plastic pots can encourage multiplication through adventitious root tubers. 
• Fertilizing

  Use orchid fertilizer when the plant is in full growth. 
• Repotting

  Repot during the dormant period. 
• Dormancy

  Dormancy can last 2–3 months, depending on growing conditions. You can collect the corms while the plant is dormant, or leave them alone and new plants will develop from the roots.
