Cypripedium acaule aka Pink Lady's Slipper

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Pink Lady's Slipper, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Pink Lady's Slipper should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Pink Lady's Slipper loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Pink Lady's Slipper thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Mocassin Flower.

Pink Lady's Slipper is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Pink Lady's Slipper grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Pink Lady's Slipper’s native range is Eastern N. America - Nova Scotia to Nebraska, south to Mississippi and Alabama.
