Phragmipedium La Ponterrin Culture:

This exceptional slipper orchid hybrid represents a masterpiece of selective breeding, combining the finest genetic traits to create a stunning specimen that stands as a testament to the artistry of modern orchid cultivation.

• Light: Prefers moderate, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, especially during the midday hours, as this can easily scorch the leaves and cause permanent damage to the foliage.
• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures should range between 18-24°C (65-75°F), with a slight drop at night to 13-18°C (55-65°F) to promote healthy growth cycles.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally between 60-80%. Excellent air circulation is still essential to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid conditions that these orchids prefer.
• Watering: This hybrid demands consistent moisture. Proper care involves using well-draining growing media, maintaining consistent soil moisture. The potting medium should never be allowed to dry out completely.
