Phragmipedium andreettae

A rare and highly sought-after species endemic to Ecuador. Phrag. andreettae is distinguished by its soft lavender-pink petals, rounded and delicate in form, with a compact rose-pink pouch and a creamy white staminode — an understated elegance rarely found in the genus.

• Light: Bright indirect light; an east- or shaded south-facing window is ideal. Avoid direct sun.
• Temperature: Cool-growing — 55–70°F (13–21°C) days, with cooler nights around 50–58°F (10–14°C).
• Humidity: 65–85%. Good air circulation is essential.
• Watering: Keep the media evenly moist at all times; never allow to fully dry out. Use low-mineral or filtered water.

Additional Notes:

An exceptionally rare collector's species from Ecuadorian cloud forests. Best grown in fine bark or sphagnum moss with excellent drainage. Fertilize with a balanced, diluted orchid fertilizer every 2 weeks during active growth.
