Paphiopedilum insigne var. sanderae is a particularly prized variety of the Paphiopedilum insigne species, renowned for its striking and elegant blooms. This orchid variety distinguishes itself with its large, slipper-shaped flowers that feature a distinctive green and white coloration, accented by maroon or purple spots and a beautiful, waxy sheen. The flowers are not only visually stunning but also long-lasting, making this variety highly valued among orchid collectors and enthusiasts. Native to the foothills of the Himalayas, Paphiopedilum insigne var. sanderae thrives in cool to intermediate conditions, preferring well-draining medium and moderate light. Its exquisite beauty and relative ease of care contribute to its popularity in cultivation, often featured in orchid shows and private collections alike.
The plant was shipped out in GREAT CONDITION… yet it wasn’t properly wrapped so ALL THE LEAVES WERE DAMAGED ITS GETTING COLD & 🥶 extra wrapping would turn the problem around! So I cut the leaves 🍃 and I have to wait… 😮💨
What a magnificent place to visit for the plant enthusiasts !
As Always I'm very happy with all my purchases from Ecuagenera. Thank you for excellent plants and customer service!
