Pterostylis curta
This Pterostylis species grows really well for me. I started with one pot with about 8 tubers, that I got at a society auction in 2008. They tend to double every year. They go dormant after blooming, by April or May the pots look dead and empty. I repot in mid- to late- July. If you don't repot, the tubers tend to work their way to the bottom of the pots and the next fall sprout out of the drainage holes. So with repotting, they get repositioned. I start lightly watering in early August, the new sprouts start to appear in mid-September and then the watering increases. The medium is about 70% inorganic (pumice and a bit of sand), the rest a mix of fast-draining potting soil (like cactus mix) and small bark.
I have tried other Pterostylis species without a lot of success - this one seems to like my conditions.
