Orchid not in bloom.
Pot 2.5"
The Paph. delenatii var. album × sib is a coveted sibling cross of Vietnam's legendary white lady's slipper orchid, prized for its 6-7cm snow-white flowers with vibrant yellow pouches and sweet rose fragrance. This intermediate-level orchid thrives in 22-28°C (72-82°F) summer temperatures with slightly cooler 18-21°C (64-70°F) nights, requiring high humidity (70-80%) - making it ideal for terrariums with gentle airflow. Plant in an alkaline mix containing limestone chips to mimic its native karst cliffs, watering only with rainwater or distilled water when the surface is slightly dry. Provide very low light (800-1,200 lux) - the leaves should remain apple green (dark green indicates insufficient light). The winter blooms emit their strongest fragrance in cool morning conditions, lasting an exceptional 6-8 weeks when kept at stable temperatures.
These care guidelines are based on general information and may need adjustments based on your specific growing conditions and the needs of your individual plant.
