How to keep Cypripedium Tibeticum.
Water
The Lady's slipper orchid can handle some drought, but it thrives best with sufficient moisture. During the summer, make sure to water it once a week. In the fall and winter, reduce watering to every 10 days. To maintain humidity, especially in dry conditions, mist the plant regularly. Use water with a neutral pH, and let tap or rainwater sit for a while before using it to improve its quality.
Pruning
The lady's slipper orchid flourishes when pruned thoughtfully between early and late spring as new shoots begin to appear. To improve vitality and air circulation, remove any dead foliage and spent flower spikes. This will help encourage robust blooms and enhance the plant's resilience. Be careful not to prune too heavily, as this can stress the plant.
