If it's native to your region, you shouldn't need much help. Just put it outside in indirect sun, somewhere under a shady tree or porch, feed it once a week, and let nature take care of the rest. This is one of my favorite Paphs, I hope you enjoy it.

according to the wiz, bellatulum likes fairly high light and constant air movement - it also wants a pretty distinctive winter rest, water heavily when it's growing...hope this helps
