Orchid not in bloom.

Pot 2.5"

 

The Paphiopedilum callosum is a distinctive slipper orchid named for its thickened ("calloused") lip structure, producing 8-10cm flowers with green-white striped dorsal sepals and glossy burgundy pouches. Native to Southeast Asia's mid-elevation forests, it thrives in stable 22-26°C temperatures with high humidity (65-80%) and dappled light (1,200-1,800 lux). Grow in terrestrial mix with excellent drainage, watering with rainwater to prevent leaf tip burn. While rare in cultivation due to habitat loss, its architectural blooms and slow, steady growth make it rewarding for patient growers. The species' unique texture contrast between velvety pouch and crystalline dorsal sepal creates exceptional photographic appeal.
