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.

To ensure optimal growth, the Pink Lady's Slipper prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

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.
