A fan of orchids? So are we! The Japanese orchid (Bletilla striata) looks cheerful along our pond's edge. Long, green leaves with small, pink flowers. We plant the waterside plant on the pond's edge (bank). We can plant this perennial all year round, The flowers bloom in the summer.
We prune the plant slightly to shape it with a pruning shear. We remove old leaves and dirt. To encourage good growth, we add minerals to the pond water and ensure that the water's hardness level (pH value and calcium to magnesium ratio) is maintained. Plant the plant in full sun or partial shade.
