Orchid not in bloom.

Pot 2.5"

 

The Paphiopedilum philippinense var. alba × sib represents sibling crosses of the legendary Philippine "alba" slipper orchid, producing 10-12cm creamy white flowers with extraordinary 30cm+ twisted petals. This ultra-rare albino form (lacking all purple pigments) thrives in steamy 24-30°C conditions with constant 75-90% humidity - best achieved in walk-in terrariums. Grow in chunky, limestone-enriched mix, watering with rainwater to maintain pristine white coloration. While normal forms display yellow/burgundy hues, these sibling crosses preserve the recessive alba trait, making them trophy specimens for advanced collectors. Provide diffused light (1,500-2,500 lux) and excellent air movement to mimic its coastal cliff habitats.

 

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.
