Sppathoglottis plicattas are what you get if you ask for a ground orchid at a big box store. I have also found them in Apopka for a song. I plant them in a pot in a mix of planting soil, orchid bark and perlite and set them out under an oak tree. I give them a little Osmocote every couple of months and spray them with the hose if necessary. I usually get two to three years out of them.
