A hybrid of Paph. Cocoa Motto Elect × Paph. Enzan Crown Tree, two complex slipper orchid hybrids selected for their large, well-rounded flowers. The dorsal sepal is broad and upright with a firm, structured form, while the lateral petals spread horizontally with a slightly undulating margin, and the pouch is deep and well-inflated.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the broad leaves.
-
Temperature: 60–75°F (15–24°C); a warm to intermediate grower that adapts well to stable indoor conditions.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; moderate to high humidity promotes strong leaf development and consistent flowering.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the top layer of the medium to approach dryness before watering again; never allow the plant to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes
This hybrid is grown in a well-draining bark-based mix and performs best in a plastic or glazed ceramic pot that retains some moisture. Plants are shipped bare root and well established, with a healthy root system ready to settle into a new medium.
