Care Tips:

  • Light: Provide bright, filtered light or light shade. Avoid strong direct midday sunlight.
  • Watering: Keep the growing medium evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid prolonged dryness.
  • Growing Medium: Use an airy, well-draining Paphiopedilum mix with fine or medium bark, perlite and a moisture-retentive component such as sphagnum.
  • Humidity: Maintain approximately 60–80% humidity with good air circulation.
  • Temperature: Intermediate to warm conditions are suitable. Aim for approximately 20–29°C (68–85°F) during the day, with slightly cooler nights.
  • Fertilizing: Apply a diluted balanced orchid fertilizer during active growth. Flush the medium periodically to prevent fertilizer-salt accumulation.
  • Airflow: Provide gentle, continuous airflow, especially in warm and humid conditions.
  • Potting: Use a relatively small pot with good drainage. Avoid oversized containers that remain wet for too long.
  • Repotting: Repot when the medium begins to break down or when new roots are developing.
  • Flowering: Because P. primulinum is a sequential bloomer, Krista can retain an extended flowering period. Stable moisture, adequate light and regular nutrition help support continued flowering.
