Paphiopedilum bellatulum × thaianum is a primary hybrid between two miniature Southeast Asian slipper orchids.

Features:

  • Type: Primary hybrid between bellatulum × thaianum
  • Growth habit: Compact, miniature brachypetalum-type slipper orchid
  • Size: Small plant due to strong influence of thaianum
  • Leaves: Mottled foliage typical of both parents
  • Flower: Single, rounded bloom with white/cream base and purple spotting; variation between seedlings is common
  • Inflorescence: Short stem bearing one flower (occasionally more in strong plants)
  • Fragrance: Sometimes lightly fragrant (influenced by thaianum)

Care Tips:

  • Light: Low to moderate, bright indirect light (similar to other mottled-leaf Paphiopedilum)
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist but never soggy; avoid letting the mix dry out completely
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (50–80%) with good airflow
  • Temperature: Intermediate to warm growing conditions
  • Substrate: Well-draining mix (fine bark, perlite, optional limestone chips)
  • Fertilizer: Light, नियमित feeding; flush medium occasionally to prevent salt buildup
  • Airflow: Good ventilation is essential to prevent rot
