-
Light: Bright, indirect light is best (East window is ideal). Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent leaf burn.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm. Maintain a range of 70-85°F (21-29°C) during the day and a slight drop to 55-72°F (13-22°C) at night.
-
Humidity: Moderate humidity (40-60%). Excellent air circulation is essential to prevent crown rot.
-
Watering: Keep the potting medium consistently moist; never allow it to dry out completely. Use low-salt water (rain, distilled, or RO water) to avoid mineral buildup.
Additional Notes
This sympodial Paphiopedilum grows fan-like from a single crown and lacks pseudobulbs. It thrives in a well-draining yet moisture-retentive mix like bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss. Repot every 1–2 years to maintain root health by refreshing the growing medium.
