but the real showpiece remains the unusual foliage

It is important that the roots get plenty of air

Possibly with some sphagnum around the roots to prevent drying out

paphiopedilum sanderianum Ascocentrum but the real showpiece remainsPaphiopedilum sanderianum is one of the most legendary lady's slipper orchids in the world. This botanical species from Borneo is famous for its extremely long, gracefully drooping petals, which can reach tens of centimeters in length on robust mature plants. It is precisely this unique flower shape that makes Paphiopedilum sanderianum so iconic in the orchid world. This is no ordinary Paphiopedilum, nor is it a plant that blooms quickly.
