Paphiopedilum Pinocchio f. album

Paphiopedilum Pinocchio f. album Culture

Paphiopedilum Pinocchio f. album is a Paphiopedilum orchid hybrid grown at our nurseries in Ecuador. Like most of its genus it appreciates intermediate-to-warm conditions and steady, attentive care.

• Light: Low to moderate diffused light, never direct sun. Leaves should stay a healthy medium green; very dark leaves suggest too little light.
• Temperature: Day temperatures of 22-30 °C (72-86 °F) with a gentle drop at night to 18-22 °C (64-72 °F) suit it best.
• Humidity: Aim for 60-80% humidity year-round, always paired with good air circulation.
• Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist but never soggy; do not let it dry out completely, and avoid water sitting in the crown.

Additional notes: 'album' in the name denotes its white color form, a departure from the usual coloring of the species that collectors especially look for.
