I like a warm and humid environment, such as a cool and humid place under a wild valley forest. Slightly cold-resistant, it can be cultivated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Strong shade resistance, avoiding direct sunlight, and leaves are easy to wither in hot and dry summer. Suitable for sandy loam with good drainage and much humus.

It often grows in wet stone walls and moss layers, often combined with shrubs, or grows on forest edges, grasses and places with mountain springs. It is also born under evergreen broad-leaved forest at an altitude of 100-3200m, under trees or coniferous forests, and cultivated in Beijing and Tianjin. The stones that Bletilla striata grows are sandstone, so that Bletilla striata can absorb capillary water and firmly absorb it.
