Mirror orchid, also known as Mirror-of-venus
Mirror orchid is a terrestrial orchid known for its striking resemblance to certain insects, which it brilliantly mimics to facilitate pollination. One of the special care points for mirror orchid is its requirement for a specific mycorrhizal fungi association for growth, making propagation and transplanting challenging. Additionally, mirror orchid requires a habitat that mimics its natural Mediterranean environment, which includes well-drained soil, seasonal temperature variations, and adequate light exposure without direct sunlight. The precise conditions required make mirror orchid a more difficult plant to care for outside its native setting.
