Phragmipedium Sheila Riggs Culture:

This exceptional slipper orchid hybrid is a cross between Phragmipedium Río Mira and Phragmipedium anguloi, combining distinctive characteristics that make it a prized specimen for discerning orchid collectors.

  • Light: Prefers moderate, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, especially during midday hours, as this can easily scorch the leaves.
