Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). P. gratrixianum is a very easy plant to grow under a wide range of conditions.
Comments: Parent plant: Medium-sized plant. A slipper orchid from Laos and Vietnam. The outstanding quality of this plant are the lacquered surfaces of the petals and pouch. These plants have moved all around the country with me, and never failed to produce a beautiful display of flowers. The inflorescence grows to approximately 10" tall and produces a single flower. The fans of these plants are of medium size for a Paphiopedilum. Bloom time is primarily winter.

We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |

Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
