Nigritella nigra

Nigritella nigra I like the article

Feed Nigritella nigra
Let’s avoid fertilizing our orchids during flowering; during the spring let’s act every 20-25 days, using a specific fertilizer, avoiding to leave fertilizing solutions in direct contact with the roots for too long.

Care Nigritella nigra
These plants are perennial herbs. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a purplepink colouring; it is small in size and can reach 45 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub.

Irrigation Nigritella nigraTenere asciutto
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. We suggest watering the the Nigritella nigra every 1-2 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water.
