Australian terrestrial orchids have similar growing habit to commonly known Habenaria, but in the different time of the year. Australian terrestrial orchids will be completely dormant for hot summer months. They start to sprout usually end of summer / beginning of fall. They will grow actively during fall and winter with blooms appearing sometimes between late winter to early summer. During its active growing season, new tuber or tubers should grow in the pot. Diuris tubers are quite different from others, thin and long strange looking – this makes them fragile! Be careful when handling and potting these, recommended 2inch or 3inch pot depending on size/length of your tuber. Diuris likes mix of 20% organic (potting soil/peat moss with pine bark, best fermented bark) and 80% inorganic material (akadama or bonsai mix, slightly acid, clay based and porous, no retaining water). These love bright light, in nature they grow sometimes expose to scorching sun, but they will prefer filtered bright light if possible. They will benefit by using mycorrhizae at least once a month, fertilize with ¼ strength of balance fertilizer every 3-4 weeks. Once plant is done blooming and growing, leaves start to yellow/brown and will fall off. Keep dormant tubers dry till new sprouts appear, best is in plastic container or zip log bag with paper towel, between 60-75F temperature.
