Sawfly orchid is a Mediterranean terrestrial orchid which prospers in nutrient-poor, well-drained soils and requires a dry period after flowering to mimic its natural habitat. Special care must be given to its water needs, ensuring it is not over-watered. Additionally, finding the right light can be tricky: sawfly orchid needs partial shade with indirect light to thrive, replicating its native conditions beneath open canopy areas.
