Shaded areas or partial sun is ideal for this orchid. Also, slightly acidic soils are ideal. [1]
Phenology
Flowers are known to bloom between July and September. [2]
Diseases and parasites
Slugs, snails, and cutworms are known to be pests for the P. ciliaris.[1]
Conservation and Management
Due to habitat loss, harvesting, and land management practices such as fire suppression, there has been a decrease in P. ciliaris. It has been listed as threatened in Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. It is also listed as endangered in Illinois, Indiana, new York, and Rhode Island. Canada is considered to be locally extinct. [1]
