Phragmipedium Gladys Eljuri

A cross between Phrag. Andean Tears and Phrag. kovachii, this slipper orchid features broad, gently undulating petals and a prominent pouch with a contrasting, spotted opening. Its sculptural flowers make a distinctive focal point in an orchid collection.

  • Light: Bright, indirect light near an east-facing window or behind a sheer curtain. Protect from strong midday sun.
  • Temperature: Cool to intermediate conditions, approximately 58–78°F (14–26°C), with cooler nights. Avoid prolonged heat.
  • Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with gentle, continuous air circulation.
  • Watering: Keep the medium consistently moist, using rainwater, reverse-osmosis water, or other low-mineral water. Flush the pot regularly and do not allow the root zone to dry out completely.

Additional Notes:

Long, strap-shaped leaves develop in fans around the upright flower stem. Use an airy, moisture-retentive mix and repot when it begins to break down. Leave a healthy green flower stem intact until it finishes developing, and avoid letting water collect in the leaf crowns overnight.
