This litte Stenoglottis woodii is an easily grown terrestrial. The plant goes dormant in winter with all top growth dying back. I keep it in the cellar overwinter under LED growlights and it usually shoots quite early. I bring it up to ehtn greenhouses with the Disa so I'm not sure just how hardy it is.

Stenoglottis longifolia is a cool growing terrestrial or lithophyte from Natal and Zululand, South Africa. It grows in humus or on mossy rocks and rock outcroppings at elevations of 300 to 1300 metres [1000 - 4300ft]. It has numerous oblanceolate or narrowly oblong, acute, light green leaves that have undulate margins in a basal rosette and it blooms in the autumn on an erect, terminal, 35cm [14"] long, racemose, many flowered inflorescence that has a few scattered sheaths along the scape. Growing temperatures cool to cold. Having said all that, it's a little beauty. The flowers are small but wonderfully marked. Compost is the familiar well drained but moisture retentive type. Watering generously in growth and less so in winter.

The S. woodii is looking a little special at the moment.

Early season for the Stenoglottis woodii and it's showing promise. I've had Stenoglottis fimbriata for a few years now and it's never grown well for me. This spring I repotted it in a more orchidy compost and it seems to be responding. Now I have the leaves, next it needs to flower.

If you mean S. woodii, I'll probably be able to divide a bit when it dies down. If you want S. fimbriata I can put you to the top of the list as that's the only plant I have.

Despite MrsG and I thinking the other was watering the plant S. fimbriate has thrown up an inflorescence. The re-pot was appreciated.
