🌿 Plant Description

  • Genus: Paphiopedilum
  • Species: Paphiopedilum barbigerum var. coccineum 
  • Blooming Season: Late Winter to Spring

💧 Care & Cultivation

Light Low to moderate indirect light (similar to Phalaenopsis). Dappled shade is ideal. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight which can bleach or burn the patterned leaves.
Water Keep evenly moist during the active growing season (Spring/Summer). Reduce watering in the winter, allowing it to dry slightly more between waterings, but never let it become completely bone dry. Do not let water sit in the crown of the leaves to prevent rot.
Temperature Cool to Intermediate. Requires a distinct drop in winter temperatures (down to 50°F–60°F / 10°C–15°C at night) to trigger spring blooming.
Potting Media Requires an airy, well-draining mix. A blend of fine-grade orchid bark, perlite, and charcoal works well. As a calcicole (limestone-dwelling plant), it greatly appreciates the addition of a little dolomite, crushed oyster shell, or limestone chips to the mix.
