Paph Little Trouble (barbigerum ‘China Doll’ JC/AOS x charlesworthii alba) 3in

A sweet little hybrid between two very attractive species. Blooms will be large relative to the size of the plant and will produce flowers of yellow, white, and soft pink. This is not a mottled-leaf variety and will prefer slightly lower temps and more frequent watering. As you will see over and over in the descriptions on here, Paphs are easy! 

Blooming size orchid. Will grow to be a medium-sized plant. Unless stated, the orchid will not be in bloom. 

SOLID LEAF PAPHIOPEDILUM CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Coarse/fine bark mix. Repot carefully in Spring once per year to prevent acidification of bark. Be careful not to damage roots as they will often die off if broken.

Light: Bright-indirect light. Place within 3 ft of a bright but indirect light source or window. North facing preferred. Shield from hot South/West afternoon sun. Slightly higher light than Maudiae mottled leaf types. 

Water: Water frequently (2-3x per week) in hot months when media reaches dry. Allow drying between waterings but don't let it stay dry. Flush the pot once per month with clean water to prevent salt buildup.

Temp: Intermediate-warm (60F min night, 90F max day).

Humidity: 30-80%, tolerant of moderate-low humidity with adequate watering.

Fertilizing: 1/2-1/4 strength urea-free fertilizer every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Decrease to 1/8 strength once monthly or stop entirely in Winter.
