In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

The Paphiopedilum adductum is an intriguing orchid species with a unique, almost dramatic appearance. This rare Venus shoe orchid is beloved among collectors for its narrow, twisted petals and dark colors. With its mysterious appearance and rarity, it is among the top botanical treasures within the genus Paphiopedilum.

Origin

Paphiopedilum adductum is native to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. Described only in 1987 by botanists Asher and Phillip Cribb, the species grows exclusively on cool, moist mountain slopes at altitudes between 1,200 and 2,000 meters. In its natural habitat, it lives in mossy forests with constant humidity and filtered light.

According to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this species is taxonomically accepted and a valid part of the genus Paphiopedilum.

Characteristics

What immediately stands out about Paphiopedilum adductum are the narrow, elongated petals that curve gracefully downward. The flower has deep colors - brown to purplish red - and a distinctive pouch-shaped lip, like those seen on slipper orchids. The leaves are firm, olive green and often lightly marbled.

The plant usually blooms in the cooler months. Each flower stem bears one impressive flower that lasts a long time. Because this species is rare in both nature and culture, it is especially popular among connoisseurs. 

Care

This species requires some experience, so it is especially suitable for advanced orchid lovers. Below are the most important care points:

Temperature

17-23°C during the day, cooling to 10-14°C at night.

Light

Plenty of indirect light - filtered sunlight or artificial light is ideal.

Humidity

High (60-80%), combined with adequate air circulation.

Watering

Keep the substrate slightly moist, but never wet. Preferably use rainwater or filtered water.

Substrate

A mixture of fine bark, perlite and some sphagnum provides an airy, well-draining base.

Spotlight

Looking for a real eye-catcher in your collection, a rare species with character and story? Then the Paphiopedilum adductum is an orchid that rightfully deserves a place of honor.
