Yesterday I stumbled upon this slipper:
(front view)
(a view *in* the lip)
The flower is about 13 x 11 cm (5 x 4.3 inch) and the leaves are green and fairly up right. 2 Mature growths with spike and a third new growth.
The seller told me it's influenced by Paphiopedilum druryi and that it's an American Paphiopedilum (hybrid).
I'm new to slippers, I had one (Maudiae type) until yesterday. Any advise on how growing this one?
What I've found online: more light than Maudiae type slippers, can take lower temps? Needs a temperature drop in spring (???) when it has new growths to get a spike on this growth next winter? Needs more light during winter than during summer? I'm confused how to culture this one. Can you help me please? :-)
