[2]

Shaded areas or partial sun is ideal for this orchid. Also, slightly acidic soils are ideal. [1]

Phenology

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]
