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

Paphiopedilum moquetteanum is an intriguing species within the slipper orchids, with its unique flower structure and compact growth habit. This botanical orchid is appreciated for its elegant appearance and relatively modest size, making it perfect for a windowsill or small orchid greenhouse.

Origin

This species is native to low-lying rainforests of the Malay Peninsula and parts of Borneo. There it often grows in shady, moist places in humus-rich forest soils or against mossy limestone rocks.

Characteristics

The leaves are oval-lanceolate and slightly glossy green, sometimes subtly marbled. The flower usually appears solitary on a sturdy flower stem and has a beautiful combination of colors: a maroon to purple lip, with white and green striped upper sepals and speckled markings on the lateral petals. The flower exudes a quiet, natural elegance and usually remains in good bloom for several weeks.

Care

Light

Light to partial shade is ideal. Avoid bright, direct sunlight, especially in summer. East- or west-facing windows are perfect.

Temperature

This species desires warm conditions: 20-27°C during the day, at night the temperature may drop to 16-18°C. Avoid large temperature fluctuations.

Substrate

Use an aerated, well-drained substrate based on fine bark with perhaps an addition of sphagnum moss. Avoid heavy mixtures or materials that dry out too quickly.

Humidity

A humidity between 60% and 80% is ideal. Provide regular ventilation to prevent mold growth.

Nutrition

During the growing season (spring to early fall), use a balanced orchid fertilizer monthly, preferably at half strength. Flush the substrate intermittently with demineralized water to prevent salt accumulation.

Watering

Keep the substrate slightly moist but not wet. Never let it dry out completely, but the roots should not remain wet at the bottom of the pot either. Preferably give demineralized water or clean rainwater at room temperature.

Flowering

Paphiopedilum moquetteanum usually blooms once a year, often in the fall or winter. Flowering is encouraged by adequate light and a slight drop in temperature between day and night.
