1、 Like half Yin

You should know that wild Paphiopedilum grows under the woods that can block the hot sun, so Paphiopedilum likes a semi cloudy environment most. It's best to keep it in a place with sufficient astigmatism. Don't expose it to the sun. Only the light in winter is soft and can be directly exposed to the sun

2、 Like warmth

The most suitable growth temperature for Paphiopedilum is 18-25 ℃, especially afraid of freezing. Most Paphiopedilum can only withstand the low temperature of 5-12 ℃. Only a few native species can withstand the low temperature of 0-5 ℃, so we must move Paphiopedilum indoors for maintenance in winter

3、 Like moist

Paphiopedilum likes humidity, and the plant has no false bulb that can store water, so it can be watered by observing the dryness of the soil surface. If the air is dry in summer, spray water frequently on the leaf surface and around the plant to humidify. If the temperature is low in winter, water less to keep the basin soil slightly dry

4、 Like thin fertilizer

Paphiopedilum likes fertilizer. During the growth period, fertilizer should be applied once a month. The concentration of fertilizer and water should be light, and the elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be balanced. Nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied in a biased way. Use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering to promote plant flowering. The concentration should also be light. It is best to apply thin fertilizer frequently. If the temperature is low in winter, stop fertilization

5、 Precautions

Paphiopedilum likes water and is afraid of waterlogging, so it is best to plant Paphiopedilum at home in super breathable tile pots, which can effectively prevent ponding and rotten roots of Paphiopedilum. Water should be sprayed frequently to moisten the plants at ordinary times, but on the premise of good ventilation, so as to avoid rotten roots and leaves of Paphiopedilum
