Phragmipedium Graeme Jones

Phragmipedium Graeme Jones Culture:

This exceptional slipper orchid hybrid is a cross between Phragmipedium Barbara LeAnn and Phragmipedium kovachii. This hybrid showcases the artistry of orchid breeding, producing flowers of remarkable elegance.

• Light: Thrives in bright, filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. East or north-facing windows with diffused light, or grow lights positioned 30-45 cm away, provide optimal conditions.
• Temperature: Performs best in cool to intermediate ranges of 16-22°C (60-72°F) during day, dropping to 10-16°C (50-60°F) at night. Temperature differential is crucial for blooming cycle.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity levels between 65-85% with excellent air movement to prevent fungal problems. Use humidity trays or room humidifiers to maintain proper moisture levels.
• Watering: Requires constant moisture without waterlogging. Use well-draining, moisture-retentive medium that stays consistently damp but never soggy. Pure water or rainwater preferred over tap water.

Additional Notes

• Floral Characteristics:  Phragmipedium Graeme Jones produces striking magenta-pink flowers with a rich burgundy-red pouch and warm peachy staminode. The broad petals display excellent substance with subtle veining and lustrous appearance.
