Paphiopedilum philippinense ‘Alba’

Care Tips:

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light. This species tolerates more light than many Paphiopedilums, but protect it from harsh midday sun.
• Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist but well drained. Avoid allowing the roots to remain constantly saturated.
• Growing Medium: Use an airy Paphiopedilum mix with fine or medium bark, perlite, and moisture-retentive organic material.
• Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity with good air circulation.
• Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 21–29°C (70–85°F) during the day. Avoid prolonged cold temperatures.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted balanced orchid fertilizer during active growth and flush the medium periodically with clean water.
• Airflow: Provide good continuous airflow, especially in warm and humid conditions.
• Potting: Use a well-draining pot and repot when the growing medium begins to break down.
• Flowering: Keep light, watering, and temperature relatively stable while the multiple flowers are developing. A healthy inflorescence can continue producing flowers successively.
