Thelymitra crinita is endemic to Western Australia at elevations of sea level to 350 meters in coastal and near coastal forests and woodlands as a small to large-sized, cold-growing terrestrial that blooms in the spring. Grow plants of Thelymitra in small pots with sandy loam. Provide intermediate temperatures and very bright light levels. Most species of Thelymitra exhibit a strong dormancy period after flowering. Water regularly during active growth and begin to withhold water upon flowering. After flowering, withhold all water until the onset of new vegetative growth. Some species, however, grow in permanently moist habitats. In nature, many species have enhanced flowerings following fire.
