Culture Notes from Donor: North American terrestrial from the Northeast. Needs special conditions. Can grow potted but prefers to be planted in moist bed out of doors. Good drainage is essential. Would prefer to grow in old-growth eastern woodlands. Greatly appreciates cool-cold nights. Prefers nutrient-rich humus and sand mix, with a slightly acidic pH. Fertilize only in the fall. Bizarre looking leaves form in the fall and last the winter. Leaves die back in late spring and flower spikes emerge from top of pot in mid summer. Requires full sunlight in winter in order for buds to form. North American terrestrials on the whole are not beginner plants. Search the web for exact recipes for potting mixes for this species.
Parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F)
Comments: Parent plant: Rather typical of this species as a whole. Small plant.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: North America. The habitat extends southward from
southeastern Ontario in Canada through New York along the eastern seaboard
to northeastern North Carolina and then arcs westward through extreme
northern Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi where it curves through the
extreme northeastern corner of Arkansas and continues northward through
Missouri, eastern Iowa to southeastern Minnesota. The northern limit of
the range appears to be across southern Wisconsin eastward across the
southern Great Lakes region and Pennsylvania and then back into
southeastern Ontario. These plants reportedly were once found fairly
frequently in the dense deciduous forests that blanketed most of its area
of distribution. As the eastern forests have disappeared, however, so has
Aplectrum hyemale until it is now found only rarely outside the wooded
regions that still exist in the southern states.
