Paphiopedilum Henrietta Fujiwara

Paphiopedilum Henrietta Fujiwara is a registered Paphiopedilum hybrid. Its parentage is Paphiopedilum primulinum × Paphiopedilum haynaldianum, combining the colorful, sequential-flowering characteristics of P. primulinum with the larger, spotted flowers and multifloral traits of P. haynaldianum.

Care Tips:

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light. Avoid harsh direct midday sunlight.

• Watering: Keep the growing medium evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid prolonged drying.

• Growing Medium: Use a moisture-retentive but well-draining Paphiopedilum mix containing fine bark, perlite and sphagnum moss.

• Humidity: Maintain around 60–80% humidity with good air circulation.

• Temperature: Intermediate to warm conditions are suitable, approximately 20–30°C (68–86°F) during the day, with somewhat cooler nights.

• Fertilizing: Apply a diluted, balanced orchid fertilizer during active growth. Flush the medium periodically to prevent salt buildup.

• Airflow: Provide gentle, continuous airflow, particularly in warm, humid conditions.

• Potting: Use a well-draining pot with enough room for the roots to develop.

• Repotting: Repot when the medium begins to break down, preferably when new roots are emerging.

• Flowering: Consistent moisture, adequate filtered light and healthy mature growth help support flowering.
