Thank you.
It helps me to better care for the plant if I know more about it. So far it is a easy one to care for.
Happy New Year.

It certainly looks like Paph spicerianum, but just a caution...

There are hybrids that look a great deal like Paph spicerianum, Paph Bruno for instance. It doesn't matter in terms of how to care for it, just be aware that the identification as Paph spicerianum can't be certain.

Yeah, Paph. spicerianum is a pretty decent species for slipper beginners in terms of ease of care. They can grow into small bushes in a matter of a few years if they're well cared for and you don't divide it. Once they get large enough, they can bloom (at least) twice a year. And because spicerianum is a fairly small grower, it's easy to find space for!

It should be able to handle shady conditions, intermediate to warm temperatures, and a typical watering routine of 1 - 2 times a week is usually good, though you always have to find out what works in your conditions.

Thanks to all.
I will read about Paph. Bruno also. My greenhouse in the summer is extremely hot, during that time I place it on a shallow plate with water. All my Paph. like that.
