Quantity: 1 plant (Blooming size, 1–2 shoots)

Paphiopedilum bellatulum is a compact and highly prized slipper orchid, celebrated for its striking white blooms adorned with deep red to maroon spots. The rounded pouch resembles a delicate nest, giving the flower a charming and distinctive appearance. Its foliage is equally attractive, featuring mottled dark green leaves with subtle purple tones, making it ornamental even when not in bloom.

Native to Southeast Asia, this species is well suited for cool to intermediate growing conditions and is a favorite among collectors for its bold patterning and manageable size. A blooming-size plant with 1–2 shoots offers strong potential for flowering under proper care.
