Paphiopedilum Cocoa Elegant Rouge

Paphiopedilum Cocoa Elegant Rouge Culture

Paphiopedilum Cocoa Elegant Rouge is a Paphiopedilum orchid hybrid grown at our nurseries in Ecuador. Like most of its genus it appreciates cool-to-intermediate 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: It prefers days of 18-26 °C (64-79 °F) and cooler nights around 12-18 °C (54-64 °F).
• Humidity: High humidity (70-85%) with constant gentle air movement, much like its cloud-forest conditions, keeps the plant healthy and prevents fungal spots.
• Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist but never soggy; do not let it dry out completely, and avoid water sitting in the crown.
