Paphiopedilum charlesworthii f. alba Culture

Paphiopedilum charlesworthii f. alba is an intermediate orchid species of the genus Paphiopedilum, grown and propagated at our nurseries in Ecuador.

• 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 20-28 °C (68-82 °F) with a gentle drop at night to 15-20 °C (59-68 °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: 'alba' in the name denotes its white color form, a departure from the usual coloring of the species that collectors especially look for.
