How to care for Fairrie's Paphiopedilum

Water

Fairrie's Paphiopedilum should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Fairrie's Paphiopedilum 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

Fairrie's Paphiopedilum can survive in low light conditions, making them ideal for rooms that are far from windows or other light sources. However, for best results, place the plant less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light.
