Orchids are plants which request periodic fertilization, using specific products for orchids, which usually aren’t too rich: it is recommendable to avoid leaving fertilizing solutions on the roots.

The Paphiopedilum maudiae needs a minimum temperature superior to 15°C, during this time of the year it is best to check the night temperatures before setting it outside. Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can receive the sunrays 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.

We suggest watering pretty often and regularly, with 1-2 glasses of water ; we should always wait for the soil to be clearly dry between one watering and the other. During this time of year usually it is necessary to irrigate every 1-2 weeks . 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.
