Paphiopedilum acmodontum

August 10, 2019 By A'na Sa'tara

Another lovely slipper orchid from the Philippines, Paphiopedilum acmodontum is a warm grower, extending to elevations of 1000m.  Its name is derived from the unique “point” in the center of its pouch, resembling a tooth.  Paphiopedilum acmodontum is a member of the Section Barbata.

This species blooms in late spring, with long-lasting flowers of two months or so.  We grow it in our warm room with other mottled leaf Paphiopedilum; nighttime lows are about 62F (16C) in winter and daytime highs in the summer reach the mid 80s (29C).  Humidity of 50-70% keeps all of the Paphiopedilum happy.
