CARE GUIDE

Paphiopedilum orchids, commonly known as Slipper Orchids, are prized for their unique pouch-shaped flowers and attractive foliage. They’re well-suited to indoor growing and prefer steady, gentle care.

Follow these simple tips to keep your orchid healthy and blooming:

Light

Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water

Water the potting mix regularly to keep it evenly moist, but never soggy. Do not allow the plant to dry out completely.

Temperature

Prefers 16–26°C. Avoid sudden temperature changes and cold drafts.

Humidity

Enjoys moderate humidity with good air circulation.

Potting Mix

Use a fine or medium orchid mix (bark-based), not regular soil.

Fertilizer

Feed with diluted orchid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during active growth.

Pruning

After flowering, remove the spent flower spike at the base and trim any dead leaves.

Repotting

Repot every 1–2 years or when the potting mix begins to break down.
