Hi everyone, im a newbie with orchids, and i need help on a lady slipper that i orderd and should be coming soon, i will be putting it in my vivarium with dartfrogs, and my question is where do i put it, and is there anything else i need to no?
well the plant is already in flower and it is 16" high from the bottom to the tip of the flowe... and im not sure, you can see what it looks like in the pc (its the far right one) Product Listing - Paphiopediums (Warm-growing)
You will need to make sure that the whole plant will be placed at least three inches away from the light source, if it is flourescent further if incandescent, but still be able to get enough light to sustain growth. You may want to try a smaller hybrid such as one from the complex breeding lines which usually are under ten inches when in bloom. Also before placing anything into the vivarium until you are sure it is free of pests and you have flushed the plant a few times to remove any leftover pesticides from the original grower.
