Irrigation Lady's slipperTenere asciutto
To moisten the soil of the orchids homogenously we can water them by immersion, soaking the vases up to the edge in demineralized water, and leaving it until the top part of the substratum is moist; let's drain the excess water and then put the containers back in place. Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 1-2 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 1-2 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy.

Care Lady's slipper
The ramifications of these plants tend to develop downwards. This plant in the summer assumes a purpleredpinkwhite colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 60 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Lady's slipper develops like a shrub.

Temperatures Lady's slipperPosizione mezza ombra
For a balanced development of the The Lady's slipper , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day. We suggest avoiding exposing orchids to direct sunlight, although they should be placed in a very bright location.During the spring the The Lady's slipper can't stand the cold weather; should the climate be particularly harsh, with minimum night-time temperatures some degrees below zero, let's cover our plant with non-woven fabric.

If we notice the presence of cochineals or of other insects we can practice a treatment based on mineral oil or other insecticide, being careful to vaporize only the foliage.
