This exceptional slipper orchid hybrid is a cross between Phragmipedium caudatum and Phragmipedium Sedenii, combining distinctive characteristics that make it a prized specimen for discerning orchid collectors.

• Light: Prefers moderate, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, especially during midday hours, as this can easily scorch the leaves.
