Quantity: 1 Plant 1–2 short growths
Paphiopedilum sukhakulii is one of Thailand’s most admired slipper orchids, highly valued by collectors for its beautifully mottled foliage and distinctive striped flowers. Native to Thailand, this species is considered a must-have for Paphiopedilum enthusiasts and orchid collectors worldwide.
Plants are shipped bare-root and wrapped with sphagnum moss to help maintain moisture during transit. Upon arrival, we recommend potting the plant into a suitable orchid mix as soon as possible. For long-term cultivation, Paphiopedilum orchids are generally not recommended to be grown in pure sphagnum moss alone.
