Paphiopedilum, also known as slipper orchid, is famous for its leaves rolled into a pocket. The flowering time of Paphiopedilum varies with different varieties. the flowering time of warm variegated varieties is mostly in summer and autumn, while that of cool green leaf varieties is mostly in winter and spring. The flowering period can be maintained for a month, and some varieties of Paphiopedilum can even blossom throughout the year.

Paphiopedilum likes a cool, ventilated and humid environment. When planting Aristolochia, the soil in the flowerpot should be kept moist and should not be watered after the soil is dry. It is easy for the flowers to wither and wither early under dry conditions. In keeping the soil moist at the same time, we should pay attention to not stagnant water, to let the roots ventilated, otherwise it is very easy to rot roots.

Paphiopedilum has a high demand for soil, because its root system is short and easy to rot, so the soil is required to be moist and ventilated. Do not choose a large pot for planting Aristolochia, otherwise it will be counterproductive and not easy to blossom. And it also needs to change soil frequently, at least once a year, in order to grow well.

Peat soil: humus soil: perlite: sand and gravel can be mixed in the ratio of 3 to 4, 2 to 1, and a layer of carbon ball can be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot before going on the pot, which can help to drain water. The time to change the pot and soil should be in the spring and autumn or after the flower fades, not after the emergence of the bud or when it is in full bloom, otherwise the bud will wither or the flower will wither early during the pot period.

Paphiopedilum should especially avoid direct sunlight in summer. Too much sunshine or too long sunshine will wither its petals and leaves, so it should be planted in a place where scattered light is acceptable. In the period of soft sunshine, you can appropriately put Paphiopedilum on the balcony to replenish the sunshine for a short time, other times are not recommended.

The maintenance environment of Paphiopedilum requires ventilation, not only the roots, but also the branches and leaves on the soil. If the plants grow up or are too dense, the pots should be divided in time, of course, the best time is in spring. But do not put Paphiopedilum in a windy vent, fan or air conditioner.
