Hi everybody,

My mom went for a walk in the woods in the back yard and wound up bringing back a Galearis spectabilis (showy orchis).

Although beautiful and unharmed (it seems they are very shallow rooted) I feel like a dog I don't know how to take care of has been brought home.

So I've got a challege now and my question is I'd like to propagate and return at least two to the woods.

Can someone tell me how to do this? I'd like to get them all back outside before fall.

Thanks.

Hi again everyone,

I couldn't find a any source to explain how to propagate. The plant looks healthy, I think we'll just keep it indoors til it stops blooming or maybe the early fall. Thanks.
