Cultivation

We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will succeed in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in most parts of the country. This species is possibly no more than a part of P. lanata, though P. kanei might be the correct name for both species[4]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. A semi-parasitic plant, growing on grass roots. Rather difficult to establish in cultivation, it is best grown in conditions that approximate to its native habitat[3]. It requires a moist peaty soil and the presence of host grasses[5]. Requires a partially shaded to sunny site in a well-drained gritty but moist soil[3].
