Cultivation

Lady's-slippers or Paphiopedilum grow best in bark media like Orchi mix. The air humidity should be more than 60%, especially in the morning and in the evening otherwise, you risk the attraction of thrips and red spider mites. Studies keep repeating that Paphiopedilum like chalky soils. Photos and research projects in natural habitats show clearly the plants grow in humus nests on rocks and trees. Thesis, unlike the chalk rock have an acidic pH value, however, lady's slippers like calcium in the medium or in the fertiliser. Our orchid fertilizer ORCHI-FIT contains sufficient calcium for Paphiopedilum species.

Paphiopedilum can be divided into 4 cultivation groups, depending on their origins.

Cold and shady

The species of this group comes from the highlands of the Himalayas where they grow in shady places. During winter, they should be kept in a room with minimal heating like a bedroom or the hallway. Do not use any fertiliser and minimal water during this period. After this rest period, they will start to form their flowers. They are usually ready to flower in late spring time. Some examples: Paph. insigne, Paph. hirsutissimum, Paph. villosum and others can be recognised by the longish, narrow, light green leaves.

Paph. insigne growing in the shade

Cold and maximum light

These species come from the highlands of the Himalayas and grow in exposed places. In winter they should be kept in a room that is not too warm, like a bedroom or the hallway. In this period they need only minimum water and no fertiliser. They will start to form their flowers at the end of this cold period and flower in the late spring. Typical examples of this group are Paphiopedilum micranthum and Paphiopedilum armeniacum. They grow in Yunnan (China), in altitudes up to 2000m. In winter they are covered with snow. Please note: some of these species grow in warm places.

Paph. armeniacum in situ, 1800m

Warm and shady

This group contains nearly all lady's-slippers with spotted leaves and those that flower successively (like Paphiopedilum primulinum ). They grow in a large area from Bhutan across Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. They usually grow in the lowlands up to altitudes of 1500m. They like an intermediate to warm environment and must be protected from sunlight especially in summer.
Some examples of the successively flowering species: Paph. primulinum , Paph. chamberlainianum, Paph. glaucophyllum ...
Examples of species with spotted leaves: Paph.callosum, Paph. lawrenceanum, Paph. curtisii, Paph. venustum ....

Paph. virens in situ (with flash)

Warm and with a lot of light

This group contains multi flower lady's slipper like Paph. rothschildianum, Paph. stonei, Paph. philippinense and many more. In nature, you can find them in exposed and sometimes very warm places. Depending on their natural habitat, the minimum temperature in winter should not drop below 16°c. They can support maximum light however, they need to be protected from sunlight in summer.
