At what location does the lady's slipper Orchid show off her flowers?
When a lady's slipper orchid takes center stage in the garden, her floral spectacle raises the gardener's reputation immensely. In order for the lavish flowering to unfold in full splendor, it depends on the ideal location. Under what conditions a Cypripedium meets all expectations in the field, read here.
The best light and temperature conditions
For the most part, wild species and natural hybrids thrive in the protection of forests in the rather cool regions of the northern hemisphere. Therefore assign a winter hardy Lady's Slipper Orchid a location with these light and temperature conditions:
Please avoid a place in the immediate vicinity of trees and shrubs. The Erdorchidee is not equal to this root competition. The flower beauty, however, has no objection to a socialization with ferns.
The optimal floor
Combine with the ideal light and temperature conditions a humus rich, well-drained soil. The lady's slipper orchid prefers to stretch its roots in loose, fresh soil with a pH not exceeding 6.5.
