Paphiopedilum Insigne fma. Sanderae

I doubt that the temp range given on that site is correct. The northeastern India is mostly subtropical with some alpine climate in higher elevation.

Summer is very hot and wet and winter can get below freezing.

I read a report of someone in Australia who grows insigne that he grows his "wild type" outside all year around, meaning they are exposed to below freezing at times. They grow and flower perfectly he says.
His Sanderae on the other hand, grow min 15C and max over 35C.

Now, I wonder if Sanderae will still bloom at above 15C. I think 18 is about the lowest I can give them. 15 will be way too cool for me.

I will wait for anyone with experience but if not, I guess I'll find out myself.
No flower come next season, then I will stick this one in the fridge for winter nights. lol

Mine is Paph insigne x Paph villosum (which just searching RHS seems to be registered under several different names, mine just has the parents on the tag).
