Phragmipedium Faust's Elegance

Phragmipedium Faust's Elegance (Primary hybrid):

This distinguished slipper orchid hybrid is a cross between the species Phragmipedium longiflorum and the species Phragmipedium andreettae. This hybrid masterfully combines the impressive elongated floral form and vigorous growth of P. longiflorum with the refined coloration and compact habit of P. andreettae.

• Light: Prefers moderate, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, especially during the midday hours, as this can easily scorch the leaves. 
• Temperature: Thrives in cool to intermediate temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures should range between 16-22°C (60-72°F), with a slight drop at night to 10-16°C (50-60°F). 
• Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally between 65-85%. Excellent air circulation is still essential to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid conditions.
• Watering: This hybrid demands consistent moisture. Proper care involves using well-draining growing media, maintaining consistent soil moisture. The potting medium should never be allowed to dry out completely.
