Phragmipedium Robert-Jan Quene

Phragmipedium Robert-Jan Quene Culture:

This exceptional hybrid slipper orchid, between Phrag. besseae and Phragmipedium Fritz Schomburg, masterfully combines the distinctive characteristics of its parents, making it a prized specimen for collectors.

• Light: Prefers moderate, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, especially during midday hours, as this can easily scorch the leaves.
• 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).
• Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally between 60-80%. Excellent air circulation is still essential to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid conditions.
• Watering: This hybrid demands consistent moisture. Proper care involves using a well-draining growing medium. The potting medium should never be allowed to dry out completely.

Additional Notes

• Floral Characteristics: The flowers of Phragmipedium Robert-Jan Quene are celebrated for their striking burgundy and deep wine-red coloration with the characteristic slipper-shaped pouch, creating an elegant and sophisticated display.
