Phragmipedium kovachii

Features

Pot Size: Bareroot
Blooming Size: Yes
Temp: Cool/Warm
Origin: Peru
Origin: Peru
In their native cloud-forest habitats, it rains almost every day and humidity is high, about 70% most of the time. Water them daily or even set them in a dish filled with water. Fertilize regularly at low concentrations.
They are most comfortable at cool-to-intermediate temperatures, 65-75°F (18-25C) during the day with a 10-15°F drop at night (6-8C).
They like a potting mix that is neutral to slightly alkaline. Fine fir bark with a small amount of crushed seashells is appropriate. I've also read that diatomaceous earth works well, with a similar particle size.
Provide intermediate light, about 2000 foot candles. More than Phalaenopsis lighting but less than Cattleya lighting. In other words, bright but filtered sunlight, such as a bright east window or a slightly-shaded south window in the northern hemisphere.
CITES permit will be included with each plant.
