ON THIS PLANT
A note from PlantMom
Ophrys fusca subsp. iricolor typically shows good disease resistance and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult, since it needs high humidity combined with good ventilation and an environment with few harmful pathogens. Too much watering can cause root rot. Cultivating Ophrys fusca subsp. iricolor is suitable for anyone, but keeping it healthy and getting it to bloom again requires more growing experience.
