Phragmipedium Roque Sevilla

This is a dramatic primary hybrid from the cross of Phrag. caudatum x Phrag. Hanne Popow, blending the long, elegantly arching tepals of caudatum with the deep rose-burgundy coloration of Hanne Popow. The flower features richly colored petals that curl and drape gracefully, a dark burgundy pouch, and a contrasting cream-yellow interior — a truly architectural bloom.

• Light: Bright indirect light; an east- or shaded south-facing window is ideal. Avoid direct midday sun.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate-growing — 58–74°F (14–23°C) days, with cooler nights around 52–60°F (11–15°C).
• Humidity: 60–80%. Good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep the media evenly moist at all times; Phragmipedium should never fully dry out. Use low-mineral or filtered water.

Additional Notes:

The influence of Phrag. caudatum gives this hybrid its distinctive long, pendant lateral petals that continue to elongate as the flower matures. Best grown in fine bark or sphagnum moss with excellent drainage.
