Paphiopedilum bellatulum STEIN
Section: Brachypetalum
Paph. bellatulum has a wide range and can be found in Thailand, Burma and China. The plants grow at altitudes of 900 - 1500 m.
This species can be cultivated in both temperate and warm areas.
When cultivating, however, it should be noted that in their natural habitat they are exposed to drought for several months with low temperatures of around 10 °C.
paper bellatulum should therefore only be watered very moderately in winter and only sparingly fertilized.
