Cultivation Listera ovata
This plant in the spring assumes a yellowgreen colouring; it is small in size and can reach 60 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Listera ovata has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are perennial herbs. Fertilize Listera ovata

These plants aren't afraid of the cold weather and can be grwon in the garden throughout the whole year. Avoid excessively sunny places; we suggest to put the the in a partially shady spot.These plants prefer very bright places, but we should avoid direct sunrays, especially during the hottest days of the year. Water Listera ovataTenere Umido
Water regularly, every 1-2 weeks , wetting the soil deeply with about 1-2 glasses of water ,but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between one watering and another; avoid leaving stagnant water. Orchids in general favour a pretty moist soil; to water correctly it is advisable to water these plants by immersion, therefore soaking the containers in water up to the edge; when the water has reached the top part of the substratum we can take out the vases and let the excess water drain well. Pests Listera ovata
