Pecteilis radiata is a species of orchid found in China, Japan, Korea and Russia. It is commonly known as the white egret flower, fringed orchid or sagisĆ. It is not to be confused with the white fringed orchid Platanthera praeclara, which is a North American species.
Water newly planted bulbs lightly at first, providing enough water to keep the soil slightly moist. Increase the amount of water when the plant is established, keeping the soil continually moist but never waterlogged. Continue watering regularly until the plant stops blooming, then decrease gradually as temperatures drop in fall. The plant will go dormant when nighttime temperatures reach about 60 F. (15 C.).
Fertilize egret flowers every other week during flowering, using a very dilute (10 to 20 percent) liquid fertilizer.
Egret flower performs best in well-drained soil. Most importantly, use a potting mix formulated for orchids, or a well-drained media such as regular potting mix combined with sand and/or perlite.
