Description

This classic terrestrial orchid species from Southeast Asia is celebrated for its distinctive slipper-shaped flowers that display elegant combinations of green, brown, and white colors with intricate patterns and glossy, mottled foliage.

  • Light: Requires bright, indirect light with protection from direct sun. Thrives under intermediate light conditions.
  • Temperature: Prefers cool to intermediate conditions with daytime temperatures of 18-24°C (64-75°F) and nighttime drops to 15-18°C (59-64°F).
  • Humidity: Maintains best health with humidity levels of 60-75%. Ensure good air circulation around the plant.
  • Watering: Keep consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when growing medium approaches dryness.

Additional Notes

The unique pouch-shaped lip serves as a landing platform for pollinators and creates the distinctive slipper appearance. This orchid is reliable and easy to grow, making it great for beginners. Its attractive mottled leaves provide year-round interest, even when not in bloom.
