Paphiopedilum Insigne key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 20-35cm
- Light & Placement
- Place it in bright partial shade. It grows naturally on mountain forest floors and rocks, so avoid direct sun and give it soft light.
- Watering
- Water to keep the medium evenly moist. Never let it dry out completely, but do not keep it soggy either.
- Temperature & Overwintering

- Soil & Repotting
- Pot in sphagnum moss or bark. Replace the medium once it breaks down and drainage worsens.
- Pests & Cautions
- Water pooling in the leaf axils causes rot, so make sure none remains after watering. Also ensure good air movement.
