Phragmipedium Diana Salazar is a refined slipper orchid hybrid combining the slender shape and green-yellow hues of P. klotzschianum with the striking long petals of P. caudatum. This blend creates an elegant orchid known for its impressive and enchanting floral appearance.

• Light: Prefers moderate, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, especially during the midday hours, as this can easily scorch the leaves. A bright, east-facing window or a location with filtered light is often ideal for this type of orchid.
• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures should range between 18-24C (65-75F), with a slight drop at night to 13-18C (55-65F). This temperature range helps promote healthy growth and flowering.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally between 60-80%. Excellent air circulation is still essential to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid conditions.
• Watering: This hybrid, like its parents, demands consistent moisture. The potting medium should never be allowed to dry out completely. Water thoroughly and frequently, making sure the pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.

Additional Notes

• Floral Characteristics: Phragmipedium Diana Salazar features large, elegant flowers with a vivid green-yellow pouch marked by fine veins. Its long, tail-like petals often twist gracefully, reflecting the influence of P. caudatum. This orchid blooms multiple flowers in sequence, offering a prolonged display.
