Planting & Care
When you receive your Yellow Ground Orchid, carefully remove it from its 4-inch pot and plant it in a location with well-draining soil. If planting in the garden, choose a spot that receives morning sun or dappled shade, as intense afternoon sun can scorch the leaves. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season. In cooler climates, grow the orchid in a container so it can be moved indoors before frost.
Fertilize monthly with a balanced orchid fertilizer during active growth to encourage blooming. Remove spent flowers to promote new blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. With proper care, your Yellow Ground Orchid will reward you with vibrant yellow flowers year after year.
