A colorful hybrid of Phrag. Fritz Schomburg and Phrag. Peruflora's Cirila Alca, featuring broad rose-pink petals and a rounded slipper-shaped pouch. Soft cream accents at the center provide a delicate contrast to the vivid blooms.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light with protection from strong midday sun. An east-facing window or lightly shaded greenhouse is suitable.
-
Temperature: Cool to intermediate-growing; aim for daytime temperatures of 65–78°F (18–26°C) and nights of 55–65°F (13–18°C). Avoid prolonged heat and provide cooler nights.
-
Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with gentle, continuous air circulation.
-
Watering: Keep the growing mix consistently moist and never allow it to dry out completely. Use rainwater, reverse-osmosis water, or other low-mineral water, and flush the pot regularly to prevent salt buildup.
Additional Notes:
Arching, strap-shaped green leaves form attractive fans beneath upright flower stems. Use an airy, moisture-retentive slipper orchid mix and repot before the medium becomes compacted. Keep the crown above the mix and avoid leaving water trapped between developing leaves.
