Normally it is impossible to cultivate Nigritella in the garden.
I don't know anybody who has done it with success in Europe. Also these wonderful plants are not in trade. So it is necessary to go in the mountains to find them. Here some pictures of 2 species, that all the orchidfriends can imgaine how beautiful they are.

Hello Olaf, plants are offered by horticulture Hertl in Germany. He says they are germinated symbiotically.
