We also have 18 Paphiopedilums available for our orchid friends.  A number of you have been asking for them and we aim to please.  These are from our newest vendor and we won’t know exactly which hybrids we will receive but can’t wait to open the shipment and check them out. 
LIGHT  -  Light needs are easy to fulfill for a Paphiopedilum. Most will thrive with 2 to 3 hours shaded sunlight a day
WATER - Water consistently enough to keep the medium moist, but not sopping wet. As terrestrials, many varieties can tolerate sitting in a bit of water. However, they still need to dry out enough to prevent root rot. 
HUMIDITY - Humidity should be moderate (between 40 to 50 percent). Air movement is essential when humidity is high.
FERTILIZE - Fertilize on a regular schedule year-round. In general, terrestrial plants, like Paphiopedilum, can tolerate more fertilizer than epiphytes can. However, Paphiopedilum are generally from environments that are so rainy, that any nutrients that would be in the soil are washed away. Old-school growers use ¼ strength doses of strong fertilizer (such as a 30-30-30 or 20-20-20), but it is recommended to use the full-strength of a weaker fertilizer (anything between a 5-5-5 and 10-10-10), to eliminate the possibility of mixing too strong of a dose. If you notice salt buildup on the plant or medium, flush the plant out with distilled or rainwater. In general, many Paphiopedilum growers flush out their plants on a monthly or quarterly basis as a good practice.
POTTING - Potting should be done about every two years, or as the medium decomposes. Seedlings and smaller plants (non-blooming size) are often repotted annually. Mixes vary tremendously. Most contain fine or medium-grade fir bark and additives such as perlite (sponge rock), coarse sand and sphagnum moss. Other growers use an entire mix of New Zealand tree fern fiber. Moisture retention with excellent drainage is needed.
