This distinctive slipper orchid hybrid combines Phrag. kovachii and Phrag. vittatum, producing sculptural blooms with sweeping petals and a prominent pouch. Its expressive flower shape makes it a striking focal point in an orchid collection.

  • Light: Bright, indirect light, such as near an east-facing window or beneath light greenhouse shading. Protect from strong midday sun.
  • Temperature: Intermediate-growing; 60–80°F (16–27°C), with cooler nights and protection from prolonged heat.
  • Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with gentle air circulation.
  • Watering: Keep the potting mix consistently moist without allowing it to become stagnant or dry out completely. Use low-mineral water and an airy, moisture-retentive slipper orchid mix. Flush the pot regularly to limit salt buildup.

Additional Notes:

Rose-magenta blooms feature gently twisted, downward-curving petals and a deep pouch with a pale, burgundy-spotted opening. Green, strap-shaped leaves form fans; leave room for new growth and support the flower stem as needed without restricting developing buds.
