Paphiopedilum henryanum ('Horatio' x 'Wow')

Paphiopedilum henryanum Culture 

• Light: Prefers bright, filtered light to partial shade. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can easily scorch its leaves. East, north, or west-facing windows are often ideal indoors, providing 1-4 hours of gentle direct sun.
• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures range between 20-26°C (68-77°F), with cooler nighttime temperatures around 15-22°C (59-72°F).
• Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity, ideally between 50-70%. Good air circulation is essential to prevent bacterial rots, especially in the crown of the plant. 
• Watering: This orchid lacks pseudobulbs, so the potting medium should be kept consistently moist but never soggy. Do not allow it to dry out completely. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. 

• Substrate: Use a terrestrial, airy, and well-draining orchid mix.

Additional Notes

• Floral Characteristics: It produces single flowers on an upright or slightly arching spike. The blooms are typically colorful and spotted, with shades ranging from green to maroon-purple.
