Water
Lady's Slipper should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
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.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the 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.
Toxicity
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.
