Monotropa hypopitys
Monotropa
Monotropa is a genus of three species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants that were formerly classified in the family Monotropaceae and presently are classified in Ericaceae. They are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and are generally rare. Unlike most plants they do not have chlorophyll and therefore are non-photosynthetic; rather, they are myco-heterotrophs that obtain food through parasitism on subterranean fungi. Because they do not need any sunlight to live, they can live in very dark sites such as the floor of deep sylvae.

General orchid tips… Before my videos on Monday
Orchid basics
The Key things to remember about orchid care in general .
In order to keep alive and re-bloom it.
Will it be indoors or outdoors?
Each species has different light requirements and water requirements.
Orchids in a potting medium must
have the medium dry out between waterings.
Most Orchids without Water storage must be watered a minimum of once a week.As a rule of thumb, drought-tolerant orchids, such as cattleyas, oncidiums and dendrobiums only need to be watered once a week. Other species should be watered every 4-5 days.
Almost all epiphyte species do best when mounted on wood...It’s how they grow in nature… And once established… They require less or no watering and very little fertilizer.
Explaining light requirements -Most orchids need strong filtered light. Not necessarily direct sun. Although they will acclimate to it.
have a very sunny yard, so I put most of my not-full-sun plants in containers under the eaves. They want and need filtered light ..strong light. And many will not re-bloom unless they are affected by seasonal light change.
If you have orchids that like higher light — the Dendrobiums, Vandas, oncidiums and Cattleyas — put them in the pool cage or under an oak tree. If you have a successful staghorn fern, it's in a spot that's great for most orchids.
Many can take some morning sun and afternoon shade.
Your plant will tell you if it’s getting too much (or too little) light. Leaves tend to become greener when light is too low, but they may turn yellow or bleached-looking when light is too bright. If you notice black or brown patches, the plant is likely sunburned and should be moved to an area with lower light.
They really should only be fertilized when they’re actively growing.
Hybrids or inter generic orchids will have the same light and water requirements of the parent plant or plants.
