Settling in & repotting
- Keep the base of the leaf fans just above the mix; use a slipper-orchid medium rather than dense garden soil.
- Choose a position with useful filtered daylight and space for the actual supplied size.
- Check drainage and the root ball before watering; empty the outer pot afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Paphiopedilum ‘Cocoa Green’
Can it dry out like some other orchids?
Slipper orchids lack water-storage pseudobulbs. Keep the mix lightly moist while ensuring air and drainage around roots.
Will the same fan flower again?
A mature fan normally flowers once; future flowers develop from new growths, so retain healthy young fans.
Should I add lime to the pot?
Do not infer this from the genus name. Requirements vary between species and hybrids; confirm this supplied hybrid before changing mix chemistry.
Can I display it in a sealed glass bowl?
Use a draining inner pot and an open display. A sealed wet container reduces root air and traps moisture around the crown.
