Parts of this selected, extremely large-flowered Paphiopedilum esquirolei.

Care tips:

Location:
Windowsill in partial shade in summer. Only in winter with full light. Green-leaved varieties can be kept outdoors in a shady spot from early June to September, where they are also exposed to rain and dew. They then bloom better.

Temperature:
Normal room temperature. Drops to about 15°C at night.

Pour:
In summer, keep the planting material moist at all times. In winter, water more carefully, but never let it dry out completely. Do not use water that is too hard.

Fertilize:
During the growth period from March to October, feed orchid fertilizer every 14 days
Do not fertilize during the low-light period (November – February).
